Using a switch before autonomous operation
Is it legal for the human player to flip a switch for the movement of the robot (during the autonomous time) when they place the robot down on the field? The switch is changed on placement of the field, and the input of the switch is read during the auto period.

It's absolutely legal. Most teams will have a similar setup, to either tell the robot which side of the field its on, or to switch between programs.
|
In fact, Woody even suggested this at kickoff.
|
Totaly legal. We have a small one now we are using durring testing.

I was just freakin out today during a programming binge with the other programmer on the team. Thanks

Is this switch for the Human Player to throw or the drivers moving the robot on to the field. Remember 10sec is not long to move boxes and flip a switch. People who have tried on my team have had problems just getting the boxes out in the 10 sec. So I would proably just have the drivers do it.

cool switch
Digi-key part number CKN5029-ND, $10.38. This is a one-digit thumbwheel switch with BCD output. It has a small mechanical digit that increments/decrements by pressing one of two little buttons on it. The output is 4 bits representing 0-9, so you get 10 possible combinations. You can get 8 combinations (0-7) using only three of the outputs if you're tight on space.
