Re: Autonomous scripting language

I would also suggest that you take into account that a lot of last minute changes to strategy might occur in cue for a variety of reasons(if you have ever been on a drive team, you know what I mean). Whatever your solution is for simplifying autonomous selection, make it something that your drivers will be able to change easily and with little hassle.

For us, it was more important for the drivers to focus on strategy than figuring out the binary codes of a selection panel, or a script like you have posted.

For this reason our team integrated the following tab into our dashboard.


This allowed our drivers to simply change the autonomous routine to a (theoretically) infinite amount of choices. It also allowed our team to adapt to nearly any strategy the alliance was planning.

Just my input into the discussion, take it for what its worth!
