Re: Programmers on the Drive Team

Not this year's programmer, but can definitely tell you some things that I've worked with the programmers to implement to make my drivers have a better experience.

Speed Select:
100% speed at no button press
50% speed at button 1 on both joysticks
25% speed at button 2 on both joysticks etc

Position Select:
Buttons on button panel push the lift to specified levels based on measurements and encoder PID crap that I'm too lazy to go into detail about but took them ages to implement. At least they figured out PID, I couldn't do it for crap.

Since our robot has super simple movement that's about it.
