Re: 2005 RadioShack Innovation In Control Award--What Won?

Our drive system worked in a non-linear (I believe it was quadratic) function when the controls were manipulated so that the robot would not begin with quite as much speed.

Also, we had a learn-and-read function, which allowed us to have 8 distinct autonomous programs which we could create in practice rounds. With this function, we could drive the robot how we wanted it to drive in autonomous mode, all while this information was being recorded. During the actual matches, we could then pick which recording we wanted depending on strategy (for example, the recording which allowed us to stack on a side goal, or the recording which allowed us to drive toward middle center goal) and in essence, replay it.
