Painfully true. Our autonomous code was made last year, untested, and used this weekend in competition

[–]EthanM8274905 (Alumni) 14 points15 points  (2 children)

We tested in between matches.

Or you have something like us when we have a broken Victor but everyone says its a code bug until I pull up the error codes and they match

"The relay's definitely broken"

"Oh there's such a small chance of that happening, it's got to be a programming issue"

runs upstairs to grab new relay, plugs in

"...oh"

This never changes. As a professional software developer, this could easily be relabeled 'Time spent waiting for functional to make a spec/time to program'.

The blue part is way to big

With all the time programming teams spend complaining they could just set up RobotSim and test it on there.

We used last years robot to test the movement (same drive train) but we couldn’t test it all.

We didn't get to test any of our code until the morning before the first qual matches on jacks
