Re: Hybrid mode?

Example:

Channel 1 = Drive Forward
Channel 2 = Turn Left
Channel 3 = Turn Right
Channel 4 = Raise Arm, etc

You can then program the robot to cancel the program by pressing the program's assigned button a second time.

With this setup, you can completely control your robot in hybrid mode. You can press button 1 to drive forward, button 4 to raise arm, button 2 or 3 to turn left/right to align with a trackball, then knock one off for the 12 point bonus. You can also press button 1 a second time to stop, or button 2/3 to turn more or less left/right.

I just wish it wasn't with IR and was with something a bit more reliable. I like this better than autonomous mode though. There's a slight bit of human interaction, no messing with timing, CMU cams, etc.
Per other discussions here, most folks have determined this is illegal. You cannot have the button change program state, or toggle function. You can not have the action performed change each time the button is pushed. You can not send multi-button messages to include other commands.

There are four buttons, and they can only do four discrete things. Please see the other discussions or use the search function for the pertinent rules.
