Re: Hibner: Flexible, Scripted Autonomous Control
This is also very similar to the way we do autonomous. We build an autonomous virtual machine with a robot/game specific instruction set. The virtual machine can execute one of any number of different programs which can be specified independently. Being able to tune autonomous and write new autonomous programs without really changing your robot code is invaluable. I'd recommend this kind of approach to anyone, and also look forward to seeing the presentation/white paper.
