Re: surefire ways to break you robot

Let the robot be inspected:

An inspector unplugs the gyro that made our robot drive predictably. He plugs it back in backwards. Not only is the robot now confused, but it is very hard to notice that the gyro is plugged in backwards.

Oh, and try everything to make the drive work after that:
1.Turn the tread inside out for smooth side.
2. Add wire rope to wheels for increased traction.
3. Ask ref if you can wrap wheels in duct tape.
4. Notice that the gyro is plugged in backwards.
5. Oh no, we don't have any replacements for these inside out wire rope wheels!

Extra: let team vice president drive. Even only for a second. It will break.
