That sounds awfully familiar. At that start of the practice rounds on Thursday at Phoenix, we had a single autonomous program (which I knew wasn't going to work, since our IR sensors weren't even hooked up yet.) By the second match, we had our first "working" autonomous program (the ever popular "Mars rock dance".) Eventually we gave up on the IR tracking in order to make weight, but by the start of the finals, we were up to 9 (dead reckoning) autonomous programs the drivers could choose from.
