Hello to all,

We are able to run our Autonomous program from the Robotc code, but we cannot run it when from the FCS. We are able to run our Teleop fine from both the program and the FCS. This is strange since last competition our autonomous worked fine during the competition.

Any advice would be great.

Hello,

this is an odd issue, and ive got 2 quick questions 1) what language are you using for your bot and 2) when you say "last competition" are you referring to last years game or a week 1 comp. this year.

PS: its actually FMS not FCS, lol

1) robotc
2) I'm referring to one that was few months ago (and upcoming competition is in 6 hours :ahh: )

I thought it was Field Control System, whatever.

It would probably be a good idea to specify that this is FTC you're talking about. Most of the forum traffic here (and therefore the default assumption) is about FRC.

Please note that you need to manually run your autonomous on the NXT brick (Meaning scroll to it, and click 'run'). It is not automatically selected for you like teleop. (Many teams at the UVA and DE states were under the impression that it is automagicly run)

If you're already doing that, try running autonomous without the 'waitForStart();' function in it. Does it do anything? If not, the autonomous [your code] is what's messing up. If it does run, try running it- with 'waitForStart();'- through RobotC's practice game tool (I forgot exactly what it was called. I think it's "Game Control - Match", or something to that effect).

Run the program, click "Autonomous - Ready", wait 2 seconds, then "Autonomous - Running".

If your autonomous starts correctly, it's a problem with the FCS. Reinstall this. If not, then it's a problem with your program (likely the provided includes, such as JoystickDriver.c), or the firmware. First, try putting a fresh version of the NXT firmware on it, load your program, and try again. If that fails, try reinstalling RobotC, or compiling/running from a different computer with RobotC on it.

If all of that fails, and teleop runs fine, I'm out of ideas. XD

Good luck!
