Re: Multiple Auto Modes?
What 2959 did is to create a scripting language. It is a pretty straight forward language that lets our drive team code a new auto on the fly. We have a couple dozen pre-written that we can load up, but it is pretty simple to code on the fly.

We tested it with our new programmers and after half an hour of instruction they were able to code a bot to go through a small maze an pick up a can at the end in about 1/2 an hour.

We extended it this year to allow for if then statements and functions, etc. We are hoping this gives us the edge during autonomous.
