Re: Next Game Autonomous Mode

Thanks for clarifying, I watched the one YouTube clip and the accuracy was awesome from midfield. Also with the shots during autonomous, the way the robot rotates I thought it may be auto aiming. Definitely impressive driving from a team that spent most of their time sitting.

I still think auto aim and drive to target code are something you can expect in many autonomous periods, so having this work already done will put you in a good place for next year.

Totally forgot about that one, probably one of the best autonomous modes I've ever seen. I mean one full lap 2 track balls. Crazy....

Does anyone know of clips of riot crew in 2004, they were able to go out grab a movable goal uncap it and bring it back below the corral all in autonomous.
