Re: What Are You Doing During Autonomous Period?

If all goes well (chiefly our programmer figuring out how to get what he wants out of the encoders - and if not I guess he'll dead reckon using time) we should have about 16 different autonomous options, selectable with a rotating potentiometer dial (a clicking one would have been nice, but pre-match we'll just have to tether the Classmate to the robot and make sure we stop the dial at the appropriate number). Options such as: get out of our partners' way in the first 5 seconds, wait the next 5 seconds, and flick the ball over the hump/into the goal in the last 5 seconds, and various combinations thereof.
