You are right that untested autonomous modes are a potentially dangerous situation, but, well, even tested ones are. (See this shining example of what happens when one of your encoders is just chilling rattling around in you're robots belley pan instead of being coupled to a shaft.)

48: You guys are running a timed autonomous? Wow you all must have some pretty consistent batteries!

See? All that "newfangled" technology just gits ye young whippersnappers in trouble, I reckon.

The wedged (wait, I better change that to "angled" before some misinformed person complains ) front end does wonders for correcting various navigational errors . Most of the time.....we did go clockwise once due to a collision from an errant partner.

One day we may hook up the Super Shifter encoders. One day....
