Re: Thoughts about future autonomous scoring...
Alot of our teams robot functions were autonomous.. the whole arm was pretty much autonomous, press a button for which height and it rasied the tower, extended the arm and set the wrist.. it was all handled by 2 functions which we used in both user and auto mode. We also had dynamic braking where if you held the four buttons on the drive joysticks the RC would put the brake on the speed controller and it would try to keep its place with the encoders on the wheels, so that was autonomous, again we used the same function for automode.
I agree with others, autonomous mode is something that seems attempted by few. This years was pretty hard, and I understand that if you were a ramp only there wasnt really alot you could do, but I would like to see more teams focus on it and trying to make it a priority for their team in the future.
