Greg,

The FRC Control System manual said that in OTB autonomous mode, for benchtop testing section 2.3.1.4

Step 9. "Immediately upon enabling the system, the motors connected to PWM#1 and PWM#2 should both be activated for exactly two seconds. The motor connected to PWM #1 should turn forward at about half speed, and the motor connected to PWM #2 should turn backward at about half speed."

Our system did exactly that... so far, so good!
