What we did was while design worked hard on our design, I got 2 or 3 guys together and made last year's robot do kinda what this years bot will be doing. We then took this and found out flaws in our design, found better, more efficient and faster methods of working as well as gave us the ability to have different codes designed (such as stack tracking) that can be used if we add and setup the sensors. I have a few different little autonomous codes so we can swap codes to counteract what scouting data brings us.

One last thing, with your dead reckoning codes, be careful! I realized very well that over time those numbers WILL change. The drive system is gonna change after running a bit, as things wear in and hardware changes. Also I'd really suggest using the delta_t counter and add it in to your counter since sometimes that RC can be crazy and lose loops like mad. It keeps it so you have your times closer. That's my 2 cents though. Good luck programmers. If you guys got that autonomous running well, great job cause you deserve it.
