Re: Regarding The Control System Award.
I believe you are talking about the Innovation in Control Award. The DiscoBots have won this award twice this season at both Alamo and Lone Star. This award is awarded to a team that is able to describe to the judges how they have used control system components to improve the function of their robot. The judges never actually see the code what they see is how the robot performs on the field and what you show them when they stop by your pit and they ask you to describe the robot. This year we made sure to have all of our students updated on the control system so even the mechanical team members could give an explanations of how our sensors and autonomous code functioned. It's also not just the autonomous award it is also for using sensors and the control system in other aspects of the robot as well.
