A more robust and intelligent system would seek out a ball to pick up.

You complained that there was nothing to do in autonomous, and IndySam suggested ways that you can add more depth to your autonomous mode. If you don't like that idea, maybe focus on adding depth to other parts of your code.

These what ifs are what kill many good intentioned projects. There's plenty of stuff that can go wrong, but making a more "robust" system *snicker* you simply add more things that can go wrong.

It's when hard but simple things are NECESSARY that programming becomes interesting.
