Re: Autonomous at Regionals
I'm pretty sure I saw ONE team at the VCU Regional on Friday. It was the first, and like only 1 of few that actually used the camera. I've noticed that most teams start out with No autonomous, or dead reckoning for a few feet/seconds. Then as the matches progressed on, the more they did. On Day1 I didn't see too many 'bots with that feature, but by the Qualifying matches there were a couple of 'em that picked tetras up, but didn't score.

Our bot didn't cap, and the team didn't like our autonomous that I wrote, so by the time we were in the seeding matches we were idle for 15 seconds.
