Re: Should We Program Autonomous For the Y?
I don't see why it's not a good idea to have autonomous functions for things that will let the drivers get worse and worse. If we could make a failproof robot, we could get lots of PR points by having kids drive it around (with supervision, of course).
For those wondering how far we got, I managed to get both the Y code and the straight code working reliably. When we get our real robot back in Seattle, I'll have to check all the motor directions, PID gains, and make sure the lengths of the arm of the same (Yes, they're probably different...), but I'm confident we'll score in the first qualification match.
What are other teams thinking about how they'll do in the first fifteen seconds? It's a potential for an extra 12 points, and when else can you get a point and half every two seconds?
Also, would it be worth it to either have a third option for autonomous that would push the ubertube into the feeder lane to block teams that can't floor load or program it and hand it out to teams that don't have anything?
What's the general view on sharing autonomous programs? Has it been done before in any volume?
