Programming a Solenoid in Autonomous

[Omar]

One of the 3 teams that I am the LabVIEW mentor for is also doing just the climb without any drive train.

I think they could do the whole climb completely autonomous.

But I can't get anyone interested in doing any autonomous code at all. As of last night they plan on sitting there until Teleop mode. They THINK they can climb to the 30 point in the 2 min. As of last night they had not gotten a complete climb yet.

So I have given some though about autonomous climb without anyone interested to share it with.

1. A version of Teleop with a state machine that I also run from a loop in Autonomous. The state machine would not really know if it was in autonomous or teleop, but pick up where it left off from switching modes
2. Doing everything in a Periodic Task with nothing much in Autonomous VI or in Teleop VI
3. Some Hybrid

Plus once in Teleop the drivers could assist or help from the joystick if needed.

Let us know a little more about how your systems works.
I saw a video of a climber where the coach was counting with his fingers. That might have been your team.
