The auto shut off also opens up our intake so we aren't contacting a tote before the match ends.
One student's project was a 'match manager' that does various things depending on the time remaining in the match. Once auto ends, the robot prepares to start building the first stack automatically. At fifteen seconds left, if it detects we're in a cycle of stacking, it begins preparing to place the stack, and just before the match ends, it makes sure the intake is open.
We want to know if there's a way for the robot (or even teams) to know when the match will end. The answer to this question appears to be NO.
