1711 developed their own version of the canburglars that we cheesecaked with them at MSC. 1089 had a set that 548 and 1023 helped them get going just before and during Einstein.

Unfortunately, there were electrical or programming issues with the set on 1089, so they weren't going full speed.

548 ourselves had an even faster set on our robot, but had some bad matches on Hopper and went out in the semis.

I think it would be really cool to have a canburglar drag-race off to the side of the practice area at IRI, with an ultra high-speed camera to catch the action and find out the fastest.

In a frantic race to get them running, we had to drop the PID out and run straight state machine (Drop arms at 100% until one pot reached a set value). We noted some hardware hitching when we were testing them at 30% in the pits (The one side with the broken pot was off speed).

I'm not sure if our auton selection from the smartdash took too much time to initialize, but we powered the motors at 100%. Unfortunately we spent so much time in the morning with the first attempt that we didn't get enough time to diagnose issues with the second.

That said, we're incredibly thankful that you guys gave us the opportunity to be cheesecaked. Absolutely worked our tails off to get not one, but two different solutions implemented throughout the morning and into the evening. Another story for another post .
