Re: Tank Drive in Autonomous

BTW, I always thought motor safety is to safe guard buggy code from losing control of the robot. But then I think about it, even with motor safety, buggy code can still cause the robot to runaway uncontrollably. So the purpose of motor safety is really for safe guarding losing communication with the joystick such that the motors will stop instead of running at the last set speeds. Therefore, that's why there is no point of turning safety on during Autonomous since there is no joystick involved. Is my assumption correct?
