 All I know is I have fun building a robot, and I have fun competing with it. If I get an award, I'm happy. If I don't, then too bad. Either way, I'm coming back next year. - Tom Bottiglieri [more] |

no control of bot when kicker is operating
We are working on learning Java as a precursor to next years season by programming this years bot in Java. We have tank drive working just fine, and the pneumatic kicker works just fine. The one problem we have is that one kick (out and in) takes about a second to complete. (Half second delay each way is programmed in to provide time for the cylinder to fully extend and retract). During that second, the we have no control over the bot. If it was driving (ie the joystick was moved forward or backwards) when the kicker is activated, the bot will *continue* to move at that speed and direction until the kicker cycle is done, even if we release the stick or change directions. How should we solve that?
