We will try to put together a nice technical writeup of how it all works. A good portion of the team worked very hard on it from day 1 and it all paid off bigtime this weekend. Our "sweeper" program that we ran in most of the elimination matches in the Archimedes finals and Championship finals was invaluable, taking out our opponent's stacks and then following through to clean off what was left of the stack on the top of the ramp.
We'll try to put something together that covers all 4 pieces of the system: our custom circuit, which determines the exact (X,Y,Orientation) position of our robot, the robot software, which takes this information and determines how to aim the wheels and what direction to run them, our Visual Basic program that allows us to design autonomous programs simply by clicking on a map of the field to tell the robot where to go, and finally our Palm at the driver's station that shows a map of the field and draws the robot on it in real time while the match happens.
