Team 1629 goes to the far side of the rack at PARCX

The clip below shows the auto mode that we never got to try at regionals.

In this match, 5 of the 6 robots had an autonomous mode. In this clip "Sticky" the Garrett Coalition (1629) bot makes a highspeed run to the far end of the field, sideswiping a blocking robot and then turns back to the rack and rings a keeper on the middle level.

A gyro is used to hold the heading in the straight run and initial turn, then the camera is used to get a range and bearing on the target.
