Re: How Many Autonomous Modes Do You Have?

Right now 3. But, that is because they just got the system working.

I can easily envision more than 6:

1) Do nothing
2) Drive forward over carpet
3) Drive backwards from the other side of the autonomous zone
4) Pick up RC and drive forwards
5) Pick up RC and drive backwards
6) pick up tote, turn, and drive
7) pick up tote, strafe to autozone
8) pick up rc, drive forward, pick up tote, turn, drive to autozone
9) #8 but strafe instead of turn
10+) variation of 2-9, but now driving over scoring platform.
20+) Variation where the robot turns once in the Autozone. That would shorten the profile, and reduce the likelihood the payload goes over the line.

I'm thinking the basic options are:
1) Do nothing
2) Drive forward over carpet
3) Drive backwards from the other side of the autonomous zone
4) Pick up RC and drive forwards
5) Pick up RC and drive backwards
6) pick up tote, turn, and drive
7) pick up rc, drive forward, pick up tote, turn, drive to autozone

With options of: Strafe, drive over step, and rotate right in autozone, rotate left in autozone

We implement a chooser on the screen where the driver checks boxes to tell the robot what to do when autonomous starts.
