Re: Learning From Failure

During one of our last qualification matches we had finished tweaking our deployment system and minibot. We launched it and then the thing died like 90% of the way up the pole. Found out later one of our motors died so we did not have enough power to turn our shaft fully.

Programming wise it took me a bunch of attempts before ending up with the autonomous that is pretty consistent that we used at West Michigan. It only missed like 2 times out of like the 12 times we ran it due to the drive jumping causing the robot to turn enough to be misaligned.
