Re: Autonomous failure

Alan, I am calling the shooter motor and the shooter solenoid in periodic tasks. The shooter seems to fire up just fine, although I haven't checked to see if it is actually at full power. Should I move both of these to teleop then or just the solenoid?

kgzak, The solenoid works fine in teleop mode other than just being slower than I'd like.

Mark, I run the shooter solenoid forced out for 2 seconds just in case during testing in the pits it got turned off before fully retracting which also acts as spin up time for the shooter. As the code sits forward and reverse might be backwards from what they really are due to my trying every iteration to get the dang thing to work.
