Hibner: Flexible, Scripted Autonomous Control

Who says you need a parser?

The method I'm presenting is actually incredibly simple. I think most people will be very surprised at how simple it is and how little code it will take.

I just finished doing a dry run of the presentation and I hit the "Questions?" slide at the 48 minute mark. That means I have a lot to cover and it's running a few minutes long.

If you would like to come to this presentation, please try and show up a little early. I have 15 minutes worth of setup time, and I hope to only use about 5 minutes of that. Therefore, if the crowd is good I can at least get through the introductions and stuff a few minutes early and get rolling with the heavy stuff right at the top of the hour.

So you have a text file that tells the robot what to do in autonomous mode - and you don't have to break it down into tokens/words/lines nor compare the tokens to known/expected words/numbers? And this is something that will not blow up if it sees something unexpected in the script? This does sound unusual - I look forward to the presentation.

Sorry for taking so long to post the presentation material and code samples. I tried posting them this morning from work, but after I posted the CD media paper did not have any of my files in it. I'm not sure if it is a problem with CD Media, or if the problem is on my side. I'll try posting again once I get home tonight.

It appears that it is not just you - the four or five papers posted today are all file-less and title-less.

The presentation material and code samples are now posted in the CD Media "papers" area. Sorry it took so long. Big thanks to Brandon for getting them uploaded.

As I said in the CD Media discussion thread: please let me know if you are having any issues getting it to run. It will most likely be a very simple fix. I want this to be useful to everyone so if you uncover a problem, please let me know so that I can fix it for everyone.
