Re: Programmers on the Drive Team
In terms of how the robot drives, or the whole co-pilot/operator code? I am on the drive team, but I am the operator not exactly the driver. I do however, drive the robot a lot, so I know what I have to do to it to make it drive nice.
If you do not have some sort of PID / Gyro control on the robot for driving, get it. It really helps a ton with stabilization and driving in general. Almost anyone that picks up the control can drive it nicely with this kind of control on it.
This year I am also thinking of adding a button to change the robot's front and back, depending on what we are doing (Our robot has a tote harvester on one side, and a claw on the other).
In the end, it all depends on the driver and the robot. Every robot has different things it has to do either faster or more precise.
