Re: surefire ways to break you robot

True story:
1. Take your bot to a potential sponsor, who's having an open house for their employee's children
2. Show all the kidlings all about your robot, the operator interface, etc.
3. Have one of the darlings fiddle with the Autonomous Mode switch, without your knowledge.
4. Turn your robot on. It now follows the "Drive Fast" instruction, waiting for the IR "Turn Left" command.
5. Since you weren't prepared for Autonomous, you don't have the IR beacon ready. Robot now drives at full speed into a steel support column.
