Robotics - All the Functionality

In addition to all the amazing progress added to us by the springs, we also did a whole bunch of awesome stuff at today's meeting. First, we actually got the flag raiser's little cylinders put in and secured. Since they were finally put in at the right height and with the right width, it actually worked to raise the flag! With that finally done, we could concentrate our efforts on user-controlled things like driving practice and autonomous tuning. We spent almost an hour giving some of the less common attenders time to practice moving around (and almost breaking off the servo, but that's OK). When they all had their turns, I was able to take over the field and work on the auto program. I tried some major changes like having it stop and turn toward the basket, but it was never right. Instead (to stop the servo thing from hitting a terribly placed bolt on the field), I had the auto program wind up the hanger bar and then retract the servo into it until dumping it in the basket. That worked, but there's still a lot more testing to do before I'm satisfied.
