Fantastic job, 1501 Programmer. I can see the auto tracking running in the videos... and the ranging?! Is that just happening or is it controllable? Do I spy traction control? Looks great!
Hope to see you there Alex!
And yes, that shooter is automatically calculating the distance of the trailor! (nice job Luke) The rangefinder also does have a manual over-ride on the OI so that the operator can control the direction and distance of the ball.
On the other hand, the drive base is set up with kit encoders, but they were not working properly so we do not have the traction control we were working towards originally. However, Luke was able to program in Traction control to the drive program still, based on time and not on wheel spin.

...PS, Chris got us a beastly encoder for the turret!
