PROGRAMMING

During autonomous, we have two strategies: one picks up a skystone, delivers it to the other side, and parks under the skybridge; and the other clamps the build base, moves it into place, then parks under the skybridge. We use sensors extensively throughout our autonomous program: the color sensor is used to detect and select the skystone, the distance sensor is used to ensure accuracy when moving and approaching the skystone, the expansion hubs’ built-in IMU ensures our robot stays aligned to the field, while a voltage sensor allows us to dynamically modulate motor speeds in response to changes in the battery level.
