I dont think I saw any team that used full pwm values to make a straightline autonomous. And if something went drastically wrong and out of control, there is always the use of the E-stop button.



I think the design of the starting position practically limits the bot closest to their driver station to do some sort of defensive autonomous mode.

Gotta hand it to the straight line autonomous mode, the most effective defense out there.

Proud beyond belief of the accomplishments of the second year, 20th ranked, 6 wins and 6 losses Chaos Incorporated.
