Re: [FTC]: Do Servo's reset during start up?

Again I'm hoping for more clarification, but from the official Q & A Section 9 Robot Inspection Question 6:

A:

It is possible to have your robot "initialize" servos prior to the enable that signals the start of the autonomousportion of the match. It is as straight-forward as inserting the code prior to waiting for the enable signal.


So I incorrectly said we're powering the servo in the disable section of the code. We're powering the servo (to keep it in one position) in the section of the autonomous code where the bluetooth command is read. This seems legal to me based on the above Q & A. We haven't changed the disable section.

But during the beginning of the match before the autonomous is enabled essentially we are turning on the servo where the blutooth is read and the disabled code section is turning off the servos many times a second. Hence it does jiggle but stays where we need it.
