Well, I developed an autonomous program that doesnt use any sensors(yet) but rather records driver input and dumps it to EEPROM on the RC. I'm trying to incorporate a sensor based error-checking method, and one that eliminates wheels slippage. I'm getting close, so keep your eyes peeled.Oh, and for those who've used it or not, It's called CopyCat, and there's already a version for the past year's control systems up in the white papers.
As far as last year, my team decided to try linetracking. It was quite a waste. Not only was it slow, which defeated the purpose, but it also kept screwing at the ramp. We found dead-wreckoning to work best, sometimes not even using any sensors at all. The best way to utilize sensors in that type of application is for error-checking.
