2011:Autonomous

Autonomous Actions

We split it up into three stages:
1. Starting Positions and Actions (Approach the pegs)
2. Peg Height (Put Ubertube on pegs)
3. Ending action.

To tell the robot which set of actions to perform you select an autonomous mode using the classmate or a paper handbook, which tells you three numbers that you plug in using a keypad on the driver’s station. The robot understands and runs based on the numbers. (Example 000 tells the robot to do nothing during autonomous).

Start Positions and Actions

Start Positions and Actions:	0 Do nothing
Peg Height:	0 Do Nothing	1 Top Peg (Normal Height)	2 Middle peg (Normal Height)	3 Low peg (Normal Height)
	Go to -> Ending Action

Start Positions and Actions:	1 Follow straight line (Left side) and 2 Follow straight line (Right side)
Peg Height:	0 Do Nothing	1 Top Peg (Normal Height)	2 Middle peg (Normal Height)	3 Low peg (Normal Height)
		Drive Forward 245? inches on line [be far enough away from pegs to move arm without hitting pegs] While driving: Move arm to middle peg position [do not twist tube]
		Have manip. twist tube to top peg angle Move arm to top peg Drive Forward 30? inches	Have manip. twist tube to middle peg angle arm doesn't move Drive Forward 24? inches	Have manip. twist tube to low peg angle Move arm to low peg Drive forward 28? inches
	Eject tube Back up same amount we drove forward Go to -> Ending Action

Start Positions and Actions:	3 Follow center line (Left fork) and 4 Follow center line (Right fork)
Peg Height:	0 Do Nothing	1 Top Peg (Normal Height)	2 Middle peg (Normal Height)	3 Low peg (Normal Height)
		Go foward to fork (while raising arm to middle peg offset.) drive slightly more (to no longer see line, half the robot distance so we can turn correctly(19? inches)) Turn left/right until line is visible.
		Tell Manip to angle tube to top peg positon Raise arm to top peg height Drive forward (while following line) 60 inches Turn 28?/-28? degrees Go forward 24? inches	Tell Manip. to angle tube to middle peg positon. Raise arm to middle peg height  Drive forward (while following line) 60 inches Turn 30?/-30? degrees Go forward 36? inches	Tell manipulator to angle tube to low peg position. Raise arm to low peg height Drive forward (while following line) 60 inches Turn 29?/-29? degrees Go forward 34? inches
		Eject tube  Back up (Same distance as last drive forward) Go to -> Ending Action

Ending Actions

Ending Action:	0 Do Nothing	1 Stay at pegs don't turn (do nothing #  2)	2 Stay at pegs (turn 180)	3 Drive backwards to midfield	4 Drive Backwards to midfield and turn 180	5 Drive to lane
		Raise arm to max height
			Turn 180 degrees	Drive forward -245 inches.	Drive forward -245 inches Turn 180 degrees
	Stop all motors Wait for Teleoperated mode Go to -> Teleoperated mode
