Here are a couple of videos showing 2046's autonomous on Curie. Our robot uses the camera to score on the middle spider leg under a light. We were 5 for 7 on Curie.

NJ Match 39 (This keeper actually didn't count, as it was supported by the stinger.
NJ Match 11
UTC Match 64 (One bot from each alliance capping, us on blue, 1124 on red.)
Galileo Match 22 (Nice close up shot.)
Galileo Match 82
Galileo Match 90* (1126 positions correctly, but knocks off their keeper as they back away. We cap ours on the same alliance.)
UTC Match 52**
NJ Finals 1*
NJ Finals 2***

Match 52 from Galileo, Match 52, and the NJ Finals are my favorites. (I'm still amazed at how we scored in match 52 after slamming into the rack and pulling up from beneath the spider.) As for our method, we used a single ultrasonic sensor to determine the proper distance from the base of the rack. During the matches at NJ, we used the CMUcam to align left/right towards the light, if it were in the view of the camera, and if not it would proceed to use the sonic sensor code. At UTC, we experienced camera troubles, and decided to just use the sonic sensors, and try our best to determine/guess where the spider leg would be after the rack had been moved. At championships, we solely used this method, and scored during 3 out of our 7 qualification matches.

The asterisks indicate my preference on which are the most entertaining to be used for the video, three stars being the highest.

We just dead reckoned using potentiometers on the wheel and arm.
We were 1/16 at LA, 2/18 at San Diego and 3/15 at the Championship.

Also, 48 pushing us into perfect scoring position: http://www.thebluealliance.net/tbatv...7/cur_f1m2.wmv

I could not get the SOAP url since the soap site seems to be down at the moment.

The next match is an example of how it was supposed to work - efficiently but boring.

This match is my favorite because 716 shakes the rack with its dead reckoning auto attempt but MOEzilla hits it anyway on a slightly offset spider. Also, with 4 teams attempting keepers there is a lot of movement.

We use the camera, gyro, wheel encoders and occasionally sonar and IR sensors. If I get some time I will writeup something about the decision making and step based nature of the code. Also I will try to lookup our stats later but I wanted to get a video to you in time.

P.S. Thanks again to the Blue Alliance, Soap, and all the video editors for making this so easily available.

we started by clamping the ringer and waiting until we found the light. we chose beforehand whether we would then wait 5 seconds extra for another team's autonomous to move out of the way. then we turned toward the light as we drove forward. once the camera told us we were close enough we quickly spun the wheels backwards for a short time to make us stop immediately. we moved the arm to a preset position based on a potentiometer, then let go of the keeper and backed up.

In this match, 5 of the 6 robots had an autonomous mode. In this clip "Sticky" the Garrett Coalition (1629) bot makes a highspeed run to the far end of the field, sideswiping a blocking robot and then turns back to the rack and rings a keeper on the middle level.

A gyro is used to hold the heading in the straight run and initial turn, then the camera is used to get a range and bearing on the target.
