Re: Automatic shifting software

Personally, I think that a driver should be able to handle shifting during a match himself. I find that usually you don't need to shift more than 5 or 6 times tops per match. Having the robot shift on its own seems prone to unwanted behavior.

Unless you can make the robot shift better than a person (like a CMUCam aims better than a person), why make it do it?
