Everything Must Go! Autonomous Extravaganza

[EricVanWyk]

I've seen quite a few bots not move during autonomous so far. I think it is a completely reasonable goal to make sure that all robots at least move during autonomous.

Programmers, please make the rounds and help out the teams that need it. It is a quick, easy and rewarding way to meet new people.

Joe Hershberger had the following recommendation for a dead simple "get them started" Autonomous: Go half speed forward for 1 second, three quarter speed for 4 seconds, then stop.

Coding this is trivial - it is a 30 second modification to the default (don't forget to enable it!). You can slap this on your partners code in no time, and you have shown their programmer how to get started on simple dead reckoning methods. The match after that they'll have something a little more interesting.

Thoughts? Comments? Methods to encourage 100% adoption?
