Re: Complete Autonomous Robot

Yes, we are still going for it. We are going to do cascade training on our 6 wheel robot to act as a teammate during the build season. We will track the wall (obviously) and use it to know where we are on the field. Simple math allows for you to calculate the speed of a ball on the ground and then the robot can autonomously go to where it will be to pick it up.

Cascade a friendly robot, calculate their speed and pass them the ball where they will be. Find the ball in mid air and automatically go to where is will land to catch it.

Lastly, in a mode where our other 2 robots cant do anything (broken or otherwise), find ball, shoot it over truss, get it back, shoot it into target.

I'm really tempted to write all the code real quick, but...I'm a senior and that would really not be good if a student didn't know how to do this next year.
