Is there such a thing as too much swag? YOLO!

If you watch some of our early matches at champs, you'll see that we already have implemented SWAG-drive in autonomous. In fact, our robot YOLOs so hard it does drive-bys on the refs.

Its good to see some people modifying and optimizing the "swagorithms" to achieve optimal-swag. I'm regretting putting the code on a GitHub gist as opposed to a dedicated Git repo, but if you could send the code back in any form I would really appreciate it and I'll be sure to credit you!

Wat. Try tuning the swag-constants?

Really?

I've been waiting for years to be able to program robots in Chef. Thought that or Shakespeare would've come first at the very least. I also would've been fine with a whitespace implementation. But lolcode?! Ugh.

FIRST just doesn't seem to care about those of us that prefer esoteric programming languages.

I mean who does want to write their code like this...
[code]
CANHAZ.VICTOR;
GIMME.VICTOR;
VROOMVROOM.VICTOR(1);
KTHNXBAI;
[\CODE]

wow this is amazing

I have been working on something like what you are, if you have ever seen the beginning of Speed Racer, on that wicked track, and how the car flips around, I have created and tested on small robots, a formula to do exactly that.

I used FTC parts to create this system but to get it fully working there are 8wheels instead of 4,

4 are swerve drive wheels and 2 are omni and 2 are tread, the small FTC bot can now run perfectly like the Speed Racer car, and is still very fast at zipping around the field. I am in the process of tweaking it so that it works flawless ly, because right now if I want to do an up-spin, it goes straight for about 2sec then does the spin, that is just one up the many errors...

[S2K JDM]

this has to be the best thread ever made.

[JohnFogarty]

Sounds like the Alaskan FTC team I met at world. They used 18 wheel HOLOSWAG drive.

Sorry guys, but someone already did SwagDrive.

heh heh heh

I was voting for J. For those of you unfamiliar, here's a sample:

fibUpTo =: (],}:@]`]@.>&(+/@{.~&_2))^:_&0 1

Obviously, this defines a function which returns an array of all Fibonacci numbers up to the argument you provide.

[Mykey]

The SwagDrive seems to go very well with the spinners we are sportin'.

[Kevin Sevcik]

I have no idea what this code does. All I know is there better not be any robots doing it on my lawn. *shakes cane*

I wasn't around for 2004, but what is the point of that, it seems like, literally pointless... No offense or anything
