Re: Help! My robot has a mind of it's own!

Hmmmmm...we've had some problems with pneumatics acting strangely during autonomous mode occasoinally, though never consistantly. A few thoughts:

First, set the pneumatics to what they should be in the program at the top of every loop. Sometimes the default can get messed up and your pneumatics will adjust...

Search your program (even parts that you really really believe aren't called) for any line of code that might set the arm doing what it does. Put printf's near them and test, see if any of them are being called. Because theres usually one more pass through the main user function when auto is called (when all inputs are set to neutral), something may be set improperly.

If it's still acting out of control, I'm out of ideas for the moment...probably electrical =\.
