Re: 108 Scoring in Autonomous

We are relying solely on information from the camera. We do have encoders installed, but currently do not implement them since dead reckoning is not viable this year for the rack moves at every match.
We set positive velocities of both wheels until the tilt angle reaches a certain value and we offset that on both wheels for the pan angle. The result is that the robot drives toward the light while driving forward. We created a raw drive function that does basically the same thing as the one joystick arcade control found in the default code.
