where do you get a fresh battery from in every match of the elimination rounds? they take about an hour to recharge after a tough match and they only gave us two batterys?!

your right about having to tweak the DR auton modes - we did not get any real testing time on our bot for auton before we shipped it - but by the end of the day friday we were hitting the release ball dead center every time - and all we use to naviagate is the fixed IR sensors and one yaw rate sensor (i mentioned this above)

it seems odd that you would be against using sensors. Put a pair of winter gloves on, put on a blindfold, and try to make a peanut butter sandwhich in your kitchen with YOUR feedback all turned off.

Sensors provide feedback - feedback is information - more information is always better than none :^)
