Silly Programming screw ups (funny)

[3DWolf]

I can't believe I forgot this one. Well, It turned out NOT to be a programming error which we initially thought it was but.
At St Louis we took the bot over to the practice field and were going to, you know, test. I reached in and turned on the robot and WHAM! The arm that we have on it SLAMS into my temple, making me go woosy for a second and I have since had major headaches (getting that taken care of).
One of our mentors swore it was a code problem even though the bot was in disabled mode through our disable switch box on our OI, and none of the joysticks were moved.
It turns out that our electrician accidentally wired a victor backwards so the arm got direct power and so when I turned it on, it went haywire.
It hurt, a lot.

One time our programming mentor accidentally inverted the autonomous code, so it went the totally opposite way.

He was standing behind the robot holding the tether when we engaged it.

He got nailed, but got out of the way in time.

Everybody laugh, cheered, and yelled things like "MR. PAWLY, SUICIDE IS NOT THE ANSWER!"
