Re: Easiest way to program autonomous?

Reaching a defense can be as simple as "drive forward 6 feet". This should not be beyond the grasp of any team.
2014 might be a better example. Last year, you got 0 points just by moving unless both of your partners could do the same. With teams stealing canisters and the need to stay out of the way of 3-tote autons, it often wasn't worth it. We had a number of different auton programs that all worked, but I believe we ended CMP with exactly 0 auton points.
