Re: Autonomous Dilemma

You have to program multiple options for autonomous, and be able to pick which one at the time of the game.

The basic options I see are:

1) Move to Autozone
2) take RC with you to Autozone
3) Take tote with you to Autozone
4) Take RC and Tote with you to Autozone

#1 is the minimum any robot should be able to do.

#2 is useful if there is a robot that can get all the totes. It clears the way for them.

#3 is the low risk if other bots can take totes, but not the RC

#4 is if the other bots can do the same.

There are more advanced options:

5) Take RC to Autozone, and get an RC (or two) off the Step
6) Stack the totes and bring them to the Autozone.

You also need to think about multiple starting positions. Not just which one, but which side. Two bots can't take up the same space, so you may need to be flexible.
