i also like 930's autonomous mode.

but one of my favorites were the ones that i hadn't written for our robot. Yes, during at least two of our matches we were running autonomous modes that had not yet been written. the drive team had selected the "drive anywhere but here" mode, and the robot goes out to the middle of the field, turns toward the human player load, drives in and stops just in time.

at this point in the stands I'm saying "That cant happen, that autonomous hasn't been written yet!!!!". Then this happened again during our first quarter finals match. Andy Brockway and i think that we have a slightly messed up RC. When the robot got back to the pit everyone was saying "Great autonomous Dillon". i replied with "Um, it hasn't been written yet". Our operator Rammie then said that it proved that our robot had a mind of its own.


my favorite of all of my teams autonomous modes was the goal capping one. we were the first team at UTC to cap a goal during autonomous. it was an insanely simple autonomous mode, all it used were counters.(I'm a rookie programmer didn't have time to figure out all that fancy analog stuff) The limit switches didn't even want to work, but that is a completely different story. which i will not share here because of its complete stupidity.
we also managed to get a triple play several times during autonomous.
