Re: Post URL to your autonomous mode
One video of our autonomous mode on Galileo is here:

We were pretty lucky to get it working since our camera wiring harness still had some shorts in it until Thursday afternoon in Atlanta. We never had a chance to try to power up our 2007 camera before ship and were not able to establish comms at VCU. We had done as much work as we could with our 2006 camera during fix-it-windows. There are a number of posts on the problems we had operating the camera in polled mode using three virtual windows.

This link is for our simplest mode that seeks the target with the highest confidence value (assuming we see two targets). If you watch closely, the robot rotates to the target drives fast until it is 12 feet from the target, drives slower and stops at 8 feet. At that point the arm is raised to the scoring height (all three levels can be selected via the LCD control panel) and the rest of the mode uses the gyro and timers to finish up because we thought the camera would be blocked at the mid or high level.
