Re: Autonomous Planning

The self-test is a good idea for the queue, but on the field I think a mid-match system in place. If something breaks in the middle of a match, a queue test will do nothing to help that poor robot driving around in circles on the field. Perhaps a slightly stronger version of the queue test to compensate for being on the field and the torque required to drive there (.5 second at 25%-50% speed?), activated by sanity tests (such as driving both sides but only one encoder spinning)
