Would it help if you used your temporary solution, then at the beginning of teleop, the robot automatically moved the arm to the "docked" position, without waiting on driver input?
That sounds like a good idea.
What I'm doing temporarily is bringing the shoulder back down to 0 degrees, and then making the elbow go to 90 degrees, in which nothing falls.
I guess at teleop init I could set both of the positions to go to docked position.
Which raises another question:
- Is there any way to do something only if the robot is in practice mode or playing an actual match?
