Wink Re: More automonous help:ending stuff

Hey Hey Hey!
I have to hand it to ya, the code did good, but it was our robot who screwed up...

I got a big tip that the line sensors power supply does NOT come from the PWM... it comes directly from the breaker. So the sensers don't have the juice to pick up anything... so useless. I found that out just before we left.

Another thing is the arm which is now removed... is useless to the winch... so no code for that useless device.
off topic but I noticed a lot of teams going for the 'fishingrod' style. I think our robot should have done that, less weight overall. So we play defence and offense.
So our now automonous code is drive like hell with our power window motors (I hate them) and plow the goal to the other end...look for my reason on this in strategy.

MY team and I reall yappreciate all the work you guys did. I wish I could have seen it in action, but if we switch back at least we can say were 'multi automonistic'

PS: I'm in the hilton business/comp. room. I've met one the official/judges (he didn't tell me) and the DIRECTOR of the whole deal. His wive is photocopying using all the complimentary stuff they have
