Re: Text-based Autonomous POC

It sounds like a great idea - essentially writing an autonomous scripting language. It would certainly make it easier to reprogram autonomous in the queue.

Also, consider supporting commands which are not time-based, but sensor based, e.g. "drive until both curb feelers hit the scoring platform" or "raise load until the top limit switch is engaged". It would probably have to be up to the teams to code the sensor monitoring and declare that the command is finished through their isFinished() method. In a 15 second autonomous period, you don't want to wait for a timeout once you know the result is complete.
