What can your robot do in Autonomous?

[ForgottenSalad]

Shoot through the center goal from any starting spot, or dump balls in the correct corner goal closest to it's starting spot. No sesnors, so I have to use dead reckoning and timing and a little bit of luck to get to those corner goals...

Of course even though it's written, all of this hasn't been tested once yet, so it's all theoretical.

I think the question is what can't we do in autonomous .

Thanks to the brilliant work of Bharat, we can shoot 10 balls in ~9.8 seconds, and yes using the camera.

it cant do anything yet

but we plan on having it just coming out a bit and turning then shooting.

Good to know you have many Autonomous programs. I am team (1769) coach and we were unsuccessful doing the autonomus programming. If your team can assist so that we might try that during regionals.

We are rookie team in Kansas City, Kansas. We have a two wheel drive system. Those drive systems are the only thing we want to put in autonomous mode. Any ideas?

Oh man, we didn't even start programming Autonomous mode until about 2 days prior to ship date.

Right now the UNTESTED code is supposed to go forward and turn on our shooter. We're crossing our fingers that it'll works

That looks quite familiar!

On a side note, maybe proximity sensors (such as an ultrasonic ranger) will be very important to avoid an auto-mode collision?

Our robot can hum quietly as it reflects on the disorder around it.

If i can piece everything together at competition:

*drive closer and shoot balls using the camera. (6 optamistically)
*drive in an arbitrary path programmed with a neato gui thing i made last year.

honestly i dont even know what it can do i hope it can do something by the time we get to trenton this week. i think we are trying to shoot in center goal but i leave that to the programmers

hey this post is just so i can get 50 posts soooo
YAYYYY 50 posts

Sounds similar to what my team is doing. I think we have more than one plan, though.

I will be trying to add a "search and destroy" auto mode at the regional.
Luckily I had already made the sonar drivers before ship!

As of now, our bot can't do much in autonomous, but as far as I know, we're still planning on using the cmu cam at competition

We are extremely efficient at autonomus( 10 out of 10 balls)

That is because this year the object that the camera is seeking and will not really change color depending on other lights. Also you aren't aiming for something on the floor, you are aiming above you, which also makes it a little easier than last year.
