I would like to attend the convention if I can get out of the pit (extreme difficult considering the amount of battle damage our robot sustains and all the modifications we make).

We built an code sequence to automatically steer our robot to the goals. Since we used to get to the goals in about 1.5 sec (bosch high direct mount) the drivers had little time to react. We were going to log the joystick values through the dashboard and automatically give these values to the drive calc code when the driver pushed a button. Unfortunately, we didn't use it because we changed the drive train.
Also, we were going to program a joke into the robot to lighten up the debug phase. Whenever the driver moved the stick out of the deadzone the robot would drive in a "figure 8". However, we were too busy during crunch time to debug a fake problem. See you at the convention (hopefully)!
