Re: What to do with autonomous
Team 538 is also planning on using an "educated" positioning system similar to the ones mentioned by Rickertson of #1139 and the system used by Wildstang (#111 i think?) last year. I'm going to try to use accelerometers instead of shaft encoders, but fears about noise may eventually force us into encoders as well.

Good luck to all the teams who choose to implement autonomous! I hope everybody gets the chance to develop a decent autonomous program. I think we learned last year that it isnt too fun to get partnered with a robot that's dead in auto mode!
