Re: Post URL to your autonomous mode

In 2003, first time they had autonomous mode, the then processor was very slow and bad. To do the autonomous mode we had to make a co-processor to process the quad encoders we used for the auto mode.

But the 2007 processor seems fine but I have always wanted to make a data logger.
As I said, we're interested in this partially for the challenge and learning, as well as for the advantages it will give us.

After we get all the basics up and running, I had a few more advanced ideas in mind. One of them would be a StangPS resembling system, that would record the position (in x and y) and the angle of the robot, using a gyro and an encoder. Are you thinking of data logging for the in-game purposes, or something to be analyzed between matches? What data would you record and why?
