Autonomous Method
 

What kind of autonomous mode are you using/hopping :) to use?

I'm hard coding with arrays. [And all based on the theoretical free speed and math! :) Heads up: We're going to Cleveland, OH...]

Voted for Line follow but....

We currently have
Mode 1 - Line Follow.
Mode 2 - Dead Recon
Mode 3 - IR Sensor (in works as backup)

In theory we will be able to drive through any series of waypoints the strategy team comes up with. We shamelessly copied team 111. The waypoints are plotted on a map of the field that doubles as a realtime display using data sucked out of the dashboard port. We'll string together a set of building-block commands into a macro for each behavior. Position is determined using a gyro (ADXRS150) and wheel encoder (128 cpr ~ 0.3" resolution). The commands are:

1) Turn to a specific global heading
2) Drive to a waypoint
3) Move the arm to a specific position
4) Actuate a piston
5) Switch gears

Command 3 does not block commands 1 or 2 so it can be running in parallel. It all worked on the edubot but hasn't been tested completely (ok, at all) on the full size robot.
