Re: Follow up: How is your auton?

My test robot (using a frame with broken welds) was able to track green and yellow a few weeks ago.

My actual robot is able to grab tetras, assuming the pots are calibrated.

My robot should be able to drop the tetra onto a goal, assuming the code fits together and the arm doesn't drop the tetra.

The combination of all of this has not been tested because I was only testing this at intervals when the build members weren't building the robot.

My team messed around with the pots on my robot's arm two hours before shipping, depriving me of my needed testing time while probably breaking the calibration of the pots. So I am probably not going to do very well on autonomous mode... buit I'll see on Thursday.

I can at least modify with code until then, hopefully making it more likely to work....

I'm sure that many teams are in a similar situation.

At least the driving straight code works to some extent!

Check out the space simulator called Vega Strike, modelled after the space simulator games Elite and Wing Commander. It's Open Source too!
If you have ever played Wing Commander, or especially Privateer, and had a feeling of nostalga derived from the you will enjoy these two Vega Strike mods: Privateer Gemini Gold and Privateer Remake!
I'm working on adding multiplayer support this year...
