Re: A salute to simplicity

Um, no...our autonomous modes are incredibly complicated; some on their own are simple, but the fact that we have 208 of them (right now, we might get more) complicates everything.

I do have a story of a simple autonomous mode with...disastrous...results. During the semi finals at Pittsburgh, we were shooting in autonomous mode, and 1370 was blocking for us because we knew the opposing alliance would try to block us. 398 was blocking us, and when they hit 1370, they changed angles just enough so that 398 went straight up on the ramp and hit our alliance wall, full-speed, and knocked our control board off the shelf and onto the floor. It landed face down and snapped our joystick. When autonomous mode ended, our 'bot was doing donuts and we had a useless joystick.
