New autonomous method in the works :D

[Lil' Lavery]

116 developed and implemented something similar for the 2007 season.
You can see it sitting on top of the RC in our control box in this picture:

It allowed for us to chose from pre-programmed autonomous plays, as well as change the parameters of those plays, right on the bot, and even on the field as we set up the bot. We could also run some basic diagnostics with it.
If you have more questions about it's specifics contact Greg Smith (yoyodyne) or another member of the 116 controls group.

Thats cool you have any idea what board that is or how its connected to the rc (im guessing the program port?)

Team 40 had the most elegant solution to this I have ever seen. The wrote a java application to run on a pocket pc (used ones can be found cheap now.... real cheap). You simply drew the autonomous path with a stylus and they did something (Not sure if that generated code they downloaded, or it had a memory card system like what cross the road offers) to put it on the robot.
