The system evolved from the two separate systems with minimal automation to being connected together, and we never stopped to think about re-architecting. We also wanted to be able to move the elevator or wrist at any point in time manually and have it cancel the action.
Looking back, I really like how easy it was to write auto modes with the multi-threading that we did, and would like to make it that easy to write auto-score functions as well.
This isn't just a robot competition, it's not robots driving robots. It's people driving robots, and teams of people who have put a lot into making the robots work. - Gadget470 [more]
