When I first read the above, I didn't know what was meant by "bug algorithms." My first thought was, "Sure, we have had lots of bugs in our autonomous algorithms, but none of those were on purpose!"

However, with google to the rescue, I've now learned about bug algorithms. For others that haven't heard of them, either, the following link might be helpful: Algorithms for Sensor-Based Robotics: Bug Algorithms


Our team discussed "tactile feedback" for use in autonomous, but decided to instead work on camera-based tracking in autonomous. Given the success of Team 40's autonomous mode, camera-based tracking for autonomous can be extremely effective!
