Too many problems, not enough time.

Panic Mode Initiated

I beg for mercy and guidance.

First of all, our joystick is too sensitive, has too much play, and is, in general, junkyard material. Regardless, I have to find a way to play down the sensitivity without destroying fine controls. We tried to create an equation that would create a cubic curve centered at 128, but the compiler refused to build (curse myself for not remembering what the output said).

The other thing is the autonomous mode. I'm just using the default code, but I can't figure out how to use the delays. I don't think I am calling them right or something. Is there some generic code I could get from someone on that or something, or even just guidance cause it is walking all over me.

There is other stuff I'm sure, but I haven't come to it yet. Thanks for the help.

Running out of time to program is a real bummer. Good luck with that.

I have found that a quadratic curve is a little easier to handle than a cubic curve. Here's an example of what I'm doing:
