Re: Timing shots to prevent collisions
We've used a potentiometer as a variable delay in the past. Just set the pot so it's range is from 0 to 10sec or so, and then have the robot wait out it's set delay after entering auto. It's super simple to implement in software, very little hardware, and and prevents two robots from running auto at the same time if you coordinate ahead of time.
