[video] ThunderChickens 217 Auton REVEALED

This is, in a way, our teaser and our reveal, at the same time.

This is the 2008 ThunderChicken autonomous mode sequence. I say auton because although it is during the "hybrid" mode, she is doing this 100% autonomously using only encoder feedback (for distances and angles) and an additional external processor to interpret the encoder data before sending it to the RC.

Keep in mind that what you see is actually the same movements repeated, and it ended in another almost straight direction, which would lead you to believe that it could (theoretically) do this multiple times..

No comment on any robot components other than hybrid enjoy!
