Ok, i won't write your autonomous for you, but I will tell you this. The current sensors are used to tell if the bot got stuck up against a wall or not. basically, for that bot, printf statements were used for the current sensors to see where they were when running normally, and what they drew ehen hitting the wall (lets say 550 normal and 750 when up againt a wall because they're stalling out). The cpu then checks to see if the sensors are above 700 and if they are, the cpu then averages out the last ten values to make sure it is consistant and not just a spike. (These sensors will not give a stable reading, believe you me.) So for your bot, just use a print f statement to see the value when the bot drives normally and when you're stalling out the motors. Subtract something like 50 from the stall value and set that as your new current max.

what i did was i took kevin's code for ir tracking, made a second copy of all of it and put it in a different folder. I then just cahnged the user_routines.c and such to use our inputs and outputs. It is much easier than trying to take the default code and incorporate all of the interupts and the like. That should work for you.
I hope I've been of some help.
