Re: Scoring Corner Goals During Autonomous
How about at the start of a match you place your robot so it is aimed to drive right at the corner goal nearest to the start position. You could program it to follow the wall (mechanically by having a horizontal wheel run along it, and having your robot have a bit of drift into the wall or electrically by using sensors). Dead reckoning has been used a lot in the past, may work really well for getting the corner goals. Also, dead reckoning would be quicker and easier programming than the CMU cam.

Good luck!
