Re: autonmous corner or center

Now here's an interesting theory... using encoders, a gyro, and the camera (or other sensors), find your velocity, robot current facing, current distance from the center goal, and find a way to compensate for your movements so that you can hit the goal while moving at almost any speed. Any programming team out there feel up to the challenege?

I hope teams are remembering that there is a defensive aspect to this year's game as well. It seems everyone is ready to sit there and shoot at the goal, but that doesn't work so well when someone pushes you out of range.
