Re: Scoring Corner Goals During Autonomous

A good dead reckoning program with time could do what you want if you just wanted to drive strait to the goal in line with your robot's starting position or using wheel encoders and a gyro you could get your robot to where you want it to go.

Range sensors do exist. So, you could measure the distance from the wall and have the robot stop at the same distance each time. If you have a radio shack near by they sell VEX Ultrasonic Range Sensors which do this. There are also IR range finders as well.
