Re: DIP switches for autonomous modes
Another possibility is using a potentiometer and one analog input on the robot.
Theoretically you could have close to 5000 different autonomous options as I believe the analog inputs are 12 bit. (2^12=4096). Practically speaking, you would easily be able to have a couple per zone.
We have a pot on our robot this year that has 10 detented positions, but we are only using 4 modes. This allows us greater room for error in positioning the pot.

In 2012, we built our best machine ever. Some visitors to our pit were visibly disappointed to find that our machine was a pile of extruded aluminum and urethane belting, just cleverly arranged and programmed. - OZ_341 [more]
