While our team did have a line tracking program, we chose to use dead reckoning. We had about three different dead reckoning programs, but we only ever used the one that went up the ramp. We also had our robot start at and angle and drive straight until it was in center with the ramp and then it turned a small degree and went up the ramp. It worked quite well when it was perfected. In one match, to our whole team's amazement we watched our robot push another robot over the ramp during autonomy. That was pretty cool!

Some of the other programs we had but never chose to use were:
- a program to sweep the field to clear out stacks and
- a program that drove backwards to knock the robot behind us off course.
