A basic example for Autonomous

[gabrielc97]

I was completely lost for making an Autonomous program. The programmers and I do not know where to get started. We wanted the robot to at least be able to move forwards, backwards, and to lower the middle bridge with metal bar moved by a gear motor.

Any help is appreciated!! Thanks.

Here's an example of a simple driving autonomous.
Just add frames for more actions and include your bridge manipulator.

Hello, I've been having a similar problem with autonomous and thank you for helping out on the forums.
How would you make a sequence for different motors though?
For example, I want the bot to launch a ball then reverse for X amount of seconds then initiate a third motor to lower the bridge.
Any help would be much appreciated and if you need any more information please just ask.

Can you show an example of motors in sequence?

Just pass more Motor references into your sequence. When you do not want them to perform any specific action during a frame, pass the reference through that particular frame (wire the reference straight through the frame)

Here are a variety of ways to do multiple motors.
Other devices can be thrown into frames, such as, Relays, Solenoids, drivetrains.
