While the robot just crosses 6 lines in autonomous in this video, our competition robot is considerably faster and should be able to make seven lines on a good battery.
Unfortunately, we have no video of the robot lane-changing, but if you have any comments/questions about it let me know and I'll see what I can do.

p.s. A little later in the evening some people got to pushing the robot around: http://www.youtube.com/v/7IszxvWliPA The improved collision recovery software still kept the robot on track. No video of recovery during arc interpolation, but yesterday we also tested that the robot can continue after being completely blocked in a turn. GO TEAMS, and see you all in Atlanta!!! |
I would be worried about driving that close to the lane divider. For one thing, your bumpers are probably going to rub on the sides slowing you down slightly, which will create a discrepency between how far your robot thinks it has traveled and how far it has actually traveled.
There's also the problem of running into
other robots that are stuck on the lane divider (seems to happen a lot).
