Re: Servo Actuating Prematurely
67 also had a problem at Kettering where the minibot would deploy at the beginning of autonomous, and we had similar problems last year with the release of our hook mechanism that we used to hang.
At least in LabVIEW, if you do not constantly set a servo to be at a specific angle, it will move to a default position (I'm thinking 90 degrees) and stay there. If you are running the Autonomous Independent code, you need to constantly, in a loop, tell the servo to be at whatever position you want instead of just telling it to go there once at the beginning of the autonomous period.
I don't know if this helps your problem. It is possible that the servo is moving in autonomous but not enough to release the minibot until you jostle it around in teleop... just some thoughts on how to fix your problem.
