Re: Autonomous code MUCHO MUCHO IMPORTANTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We had target tracking code that worked, but it broke when we updated the firmware and LabView. This turned out not to be such a horrible thing, because about 2/3 of the matches (and an even greater percentage in the elimination rounds) ended up with all of the robots mashed together somewhere in the middle of the field. This might change some as teams go to multiple regional competitions. However, since a lot of teams are going to just try some variations of drive straight away from human player or drive straight away and spin around, there is just not much room to try and track the target. The most important thing is to move. In the first round of qualifying our broken autonomous code caused our robot not to move, and we had 13 balls dumped in our trailer. Which was crucial our alliance losing the match.
