Re: Any ideas for what we can do?

Just the diagnostic lights on the spikes, jags and victors will help to debug your code. You can turn pots and encoders manually and see if the inputs make sense. You can make sure you are processing data from the driver station correctly. If you have a custom dashboard, you can feed it fake data and test much of that. Much of the vision functions can get tested, our team hooked up a little servo (to an old robot) to test their tracking code (since they could not turn the turntable till yesterday).

Good luck!
