    Autonomous Mode

       The first 15 seconds of a match are devoted to autonomous mode. During this time, the robot must operate on its own without any human interaction.

       We have 4 main strategies for autonomous mode. A potentiometer attached to the Operator Interface allows us to choose which autonomous program to run. This means we can change our autonomous mode program seconds before the match starts to best counter what we think our opponents are going to do. This gives us lots of flexibility when working with other teams.

    Autonomous Modes **
    - do nothing
    - go to opponents side and pick a ringer
    - move to and shake the rack
    - place a keeper on the rack

     

    **programs have not been tested on a full size field
