Re: Modular Autonomous?

I made a rather simple autonomous that works for all 3 zones, using one of the old banner sensors as a ball detector.

Autonomous is a simple loop of :
  • Drive Forward
  • Check if the banner sensor has tripped
  • Check if the kicker has reloaded
  • Fire the ball if it is, and reload if it's not
  • Rinse, repeat

However, it times out after about 2 seconds to prevent hitting the bump or the wall in case there's no more balls in the zone.
