Well I am brand new to FIRST and relativly new to programming with C, I started using C last year but I alreaady had a decent amount of experience with Basic. But to make a long story short I am the only one who has any programing back ground and will be doing the vast majority of our team's programming.

I have been writing autonomous code for the EDU bot as well as writing sample codes that could be adapted for use on the Competition bot(I dont know if there is an official name for this bot) I was wondering what your opinions were as to what the best and most reliable autonomous mode was, I have tried IR line tracing, IR beacon using triangulation, and am working on dead reckoning, I was wondering which one of these most teams find to be most effective and if there are any i am over looking.

Your help will be greatly appreciated,

James

Sorry if this is in the wrong place i didnt see any thing about autonomous mode so i figured it was most directly related to programming.
