Re: how much time to Program

Here's how my programming time went...

me: so can i have the robot?
guy: yep, that's it, all done, go ahead.
<<program the elevator servo>>
robot: BANG! SQUEEEEEK! ANGRY BUZZ!
me: <<shuts off robot>>
guy: well.... you can have it again in an hour or so.

and thats how it went for about a day. Developed the drive code offline and ended up tuning the elevator servo over the course of a few matches, proud to say no code errors though!

I developed as much autonomous as i could off the robot but never got a chance to tune the servos very well on the robot... hopefully we'll have pipes again (uprights in the rack) in next year's game so i can use our sonar based radar system.
