I'm in no way dissing your driver, but it seems like his driving style would be much stronger if you were to implement the arcade style drive.

Just a suggestion,

Thanks for the suggestion, we'll keep it in mind. I guess I should have prefaced my post with the fact that was the first time we had tried lining it up and driving it in its final configuration. I cut out the audio, but we were also experimenting on whether it was easier to line up in low or high gear. :-)

Either way, having a week to practice will improve things, and we are also going to have the line followers capable of use during teleop in our code, so that may help the students line up. That video was also before we had the PID loop working on our elevator and it was all manual at that point. We have an automatic elevator now.

Should have a video up just prior to ship date with the robot after a week of tuning. Good luck everyone.
