Re: Favorite Autonomous Mode

I'm partial to my teams practice auto mode:

Our programmer didn't realize how far 1/2 a second of full forward would take us. What we WANTED It to do was go forward and backward to shake down our arm, then turn and smack the hanging tetra. This is what really happened:
Go forward about 6 feet
Go Backward about 2 feet, in the process poping a wheelie
Attempt to turn to the right, while still in wheelie, doing a wheelie spin jump move
Stop just shy of the auto loader station.

I was scouting at the i saw our first practice match, i loved the dance, and was surprised how close he got to the auto loader station. Well i went down to talk to him, and i told him how close he got to the autoloader, he thought i was joking, since the team was going for the hanging tetra, not the autoloader

The dance was awesome, since we were at the verge of tipping over, but never did.
