Go to Post Mentors need to be sure that the team is on track to have a working robot ready. Students can do almost everything, but they need help watching the calender. Even if your ideas turn out bad, if your robot is inspectable and running when you arrive at your first event, anything can happen. - AcesPease [more]

That'll essentially give you an overall arc to the right I think, but so slight that you might end up in your opponents corner. Of course, you'll be running into the robot coming out of that corner way before you get there.

To end of straighter you'd go one way for 1.5 seconds, then the other way for 1.5 seconds to even things out.
But that's probably overthinking it all anyway.
On the regolith is it known how long it will take to get from one end to the other? We could not afford it and had no playing field available to us.

If I started in the lower right corner and went slightly left then straight and then slightly left, etc. I am hoping to go to about mid field or so. As long as I am pointing toways the other end when I am done so my trailer is not to the other teams in the other alliance.

Move, move, move...
