Re: New Team Not Using Camera

Last year we didn't focus on autonomous and just let our mentors from RIT mess around with it. It wasn't until the championship we tried to get up on the platform during autonomous, but we actually ended up breaking one of our drive chains. Point it you can do it w/o autonomous, and autonomous DOES open you up to some damage with other robots (collisions during dueling autonomous modes aren't uncommon,) but overall you SHOULD focus on the human element and once you have a strategy down for that THEN focus on autonomous mode.
