Re: FIRST Team 1710 Logomotion Robot

Our autonomous uses line sensing and we are working on the forked line code currently. The autonomous for the straight line has been 100% accurate so far.

Our drive and lift are both single speed, but we seem to have really good control with lower speeds as well as our top speeds.

Yes, we have a limit switch that depresses and stays down and then a ratcheting mechanism that keeps our minibot at the top of the pole. We have a way to release it on the field and then the minibot glides down after the match. The limit switch and ratcheting device have worked the last 15+ times since we made our final modifications.

Thanks, I hope we do too
