If anyone needs a hybrid at GTR stop by our pit, we can get you to cross at least the first line no problems what-so-ever.

and hopefully we have the ability to knock down the ball at GTR as well.

Good luck with this challenge, and to report, most robots in Waterloo moved in hybrid, whether it was for points or not!!

Wow that is great doing this with no sensors. We managed to cross 4-5 lines 4-5 times at Florida, but then started having mysterious issues with the robot at the start do a fast left turn.

We got our data logger going and that will help us figure out what is going wrong with those issues.

So on your hybrid mode, did you doing timing to know when to turn. What kind of turns do you do, stop then do a 90 degree turn, or start turn at end of going straight?

I think it is amazing a robot can go that far without some sort of feedback.

This weekend we plan on start knocking down balls. We did it in practice but the mysterious problems killed the next step of knocking down balls.
