It took us longer than 6 weeks to get it right too. The reason was that we misread the rules and thought the balls were placed randomly on the field. Once we found out that wasn't true--which was after ship date--it took only an hour of coding + testing time during our first regional to get autonomous right.
That said, it was interesting to see the robot drive to the ball based on its own vision, turn, and take a shot. I really wish we could have used it during the competition.
