Re: pic: Thousands of manhours of work... coming '07

No offense guys, I believe we implemented a very similar system last year[1219 Iron Eagles]. We implemented 6 sensors on our robot with a navigation system. We had ours hooked up to a tablet PC, so we select points on the tablet and the action to perform and it writes a code into C and loads into the robot. We created sectors in EEPROM so basically we can save like 6 to 9 different codes in EEPROM and than based on the binary switches [coded for example 001 - autonomous 1] we were able to change our autonomous. We didn't find lot of success last year because our microcontroller broke in one of the game and so we had to literally re-design the control system. Hopefully we can use it this year
