Re: Last minute autonomous help

We don't use line tracking, we use encoders we drive a fixed distance straight and place a piece.

Since you're running so late. try code that powers your drive forward at say 1/3 power for 5 seconds. Tune it until it just bumps the wall and then place a piece. Make sure you keep a good battery, but I think that's your best bet for a last minute autonomous BEFORE you ship.

Alternatively, look up teams going to your first regional and see if there's anyone like my team who hasn't used there line sensors and wouldn't mind giving you one.
