Re: Timing shots to prevent collisions
I think a delay is only needed if you are going for the top basket. Then you need to coordinate with the other machine that is not in hybrid mode. Using a dip switch to indicate a shooting delay of 2 seconds should do it. If you are shooting for the side basket, then make your code flexible enough to do either side.

Note: If your plan in autonomous mode is to drive up to the center basket to take a shot, then you better have a plan B, and quick way to implment it (set a dip switch), if your bot is not chosen for that strategy.
