Re: Silly Programming screw ups (funny)

This one reminds me of Zoolander:

On our scrimmage bot from the summer we broke a banebots 56mm drive transmission due to over-agressive driving and direction changes. Since we didn't want this happening to our expensive new AM shifters, the coding team implemented a "soft steer" drive that limited how fast the robot could change directions for the '08 season. They had limited testing due to unforseen and unavoidable build-team delays.

We get to VCU in week 2 and all of a sudden the robot can't turn left in teleoperated mode! This was the cause of most of our penalties at VCU. All our driver could say was "I don't know, don't blame me, I'm not an ambiturner!". We commented out that portion fo the code Friday night and BAM it could turn left.
