Software Team |
This team designs the software and controls for the robot’s teleoperated and
autonomous modes. This includes coding, driver interfacing, and troubleshooting especially for autonomous programs. They must work closely with the electrical team for system configuration, seek feedback from the mechanical team on performance, and design the controls with the drive team. |

Using PIDWe have used PID control this year specifically for our autonomous driving. As you can see from the video we have become extremely accurate at autonomous driving. During the video we drove 10 feet in each side of the square which is 80 feet all together. Meaning we were only off about 1 inches and 1 degree.

The drive byThis is a crucial part of our autonomous. In the beginning of the autonomous period when our robot drives past the side of the switch, we drop it in if it's ours. This was developed student members over the course of build season.
