Re: [FTC]: CAD Library Inventor

Nice! VEX college has 60 seconds of autonomous and sounds like he can do some serious damage... Especially in the college challenge when the alliance can work together. I think getting all the balls & barrels to the isolation zone to score would be the key (since there's NO gate that can be lifted...) and it's nearly impossibly to defend against during autonomous.

A combination of Gyro & Accelerometer should be able to do what you described with some serious coding (especially for the accelerometer) if implemented correctly (Heading using Gyro, X & Y displacement using accelerometer).

Do you know whether the programmer utilized the protoboard? If so, what kind of sensors did he use?

Thanks again!
