Re: Autonomous?

FIRST Team 1296 uses a script-driven autonomous mode. We can FTP scripts written in a simple language w/o changing the firmware. So far we use it to take 2 shots, back up and tip the center bridge. We are hoping to get to the point where we can shoot those balls from the center bridge. When we move, it is by dead reckoning using the encoders on the wheels to measure distance.
