Yeah, dead reckoning isn't bound to work so well because unlike overdrive, every team will NOT have the same/similar objectives during Autonomous period. Therefore, the mode will somehow need to consider what happens to the robot if it collides and not just continue to drive straight if it gets head on to the wall.
