How is Autonomous Mode treating you?

[jacob_dilles]

we have been tinkering around with a line tracker... its not as easy as it looked. under a human driver we can get from the starting position to the top in about 3 seconds; but with this line tracker it takes just over 5 seconds just to do the turn. I am to the point of giving up on the line tracker all together and just throwing on a compass and a couple of tachs. -Jacob

This is true and extremely frustrating. We get it to work and then a new battery comes in and it doesn't work again.

Gerbs, howsabouts we do donuts at the bottom of the ramp on our side?

Or better yet, we knock over our own boxes!

Oh, and "Are we having fun yet" is my line.

Who was bragging? Our compass works. Our external processor works. Our CVT will work.
