Autonomous Problems

[j.cole]

I know exactly what I want for our team in regards to autonomous, but sadly I have no idea where to even begin.

Questions
1. Whats the difference between independent and iterative.
2. What of the basic code, provided upon starting a new project, is needed.
3. Where do I put my code? (RefNum Gets, Joystick Gets, Solenoid sets, ect.)
4. How do I run certain motors for specified time periods. (ex. Run Left & Right motors 1 second)

I feel like other teams have been asking themselves these questions too, but no one has posted them (I've searched a few times).

This post could be used as a database so if you have any questions or answers post them here (or, and I know that this might be a huge undertaking, a new sub-forum, under programming, dedicated to autonomous)
