Re: Bill's latest blog

This problem plagued us throughout the season, and caused us to sit still during autonomous during eliminations at Hartford. Our autonomous routine implemented a timer in order to break out of a PID loop. We had intermittent problems throughout NY and CT, but the FTA people couldn't figure it out. We suggested that the field may have been sending auton enabled signals before auton actually began causing the timer to start and count down, then when auton actually started the timer had already run out, but the field people said that this was impossible (disclaimer: not being a programmer I only have a general sense of how the program worked, so I'm sorry for not being more specific). We actually spent the last few weeks going through our code trying to fix the "problem" but could not find anything. This explains a lot.
