Re: A more autonomous teleop?

We did this and a little more this season. We used encoders on our lifts, converted encoder ticks to inches and created levels at certain heights, with each button press the tote lift would go up/down a level or up/down half a level. We also used wobble switches on the front of our robot to allow our driver to more or less line up the robot and press a button to make the robot drive up to the tote, line up, and lift the tote to the next level.

This automated pick-up went to our driver so most of the time as the operator I only had to worry about our Can lift and this let me watch the field a little more.
