Re: Do you purposely not score in auto mode?
Yeah... we coded one, but the mentors told us not to use it, simply because they didn't trust it (they thought us having to re-tune our PID code after they changed the friction in the arm was bad coding on our part... also some other things were buggy because we didn't get all the wires hooked up correctly).

And then after 45 at BMR smashed into the rack and tipped over (a spectacular way to go I might add), they decided that they didn't want us to break it.

All our robot does is moves its arm down and closes it.
