Re: Sensors Not Required: FRC Design "Sans Feedback"
Last year we tried to automate so much- and it was well beyond the abilities of our programming team. Our robot was a well built robot, but it couldn't shoot well at all (we ended up playing "feederbot" at UTC and CMP).
This year we simplified. We have two limit switches that turn on lights when we're in shooting position.
That's just about it.
Our drivers, however, are incredible, and make up for any deficiencies in software this year.
