Autonomous Actions

We split it up into three stages.
1. Approach the pegs.
2. Put Ubertube on pegs.
3. Ending action.

Approach pegs

Strategy 0:
1.) Do nothing

1.) Drive forward -245 inches

2.) Turn 180 deg

3.) Stop all motors

4.) Wait for Teleoperated mode

5.) Go to -> Teleoperated mode

Strategey 5
Go to right lane to block incoming opposing alliance robots

1.) Drive backwards

2.) Turn 90deg Counterclockwise

3.) Drive until reached lane

4.) Stop all motors

5.) Wait for teleoperated mode

6.) Go to -> Teleoperated mode

Strategey 5
Go to leftlane to block incoming opposing alliance robots

1.) Drive backwards

2.) Turn 90deg Clockwise

3.) Drive until reached lane

4.) Stop all motors

5.) Wait for teleoperated mode

6.) Go to -> Teleoperated mode

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).

Approach the pegs:	Strategy 1 and 2 Straight line (left and right side)
Put Ubertube on pegs:	Strategy 1 Top Peg (Normal Height)	Strategy 2 Middle peg (Normal Height)	Strategy 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 Eject tube Back up same amount we drove forward	Have manip. twist tube to middle peg angle arm doesn't move Drive Forward 24? inches Eject tube Back up same amount we drove forward	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
	Raise arm to max height Go to -> Final Action

.

Approach the pegs:	Strategy 3 and 4 Follow center line (left and right fork)
Put Ubertube on pegs:	Strategy 1 Top Peg (offset Height)	Strategy 2 Middle peg (offset Height)	Strategy 3 Low peg (offset 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))
	4.)Turn left/right until line is visible.; 7.) Raise arm to preset position (top, middle, bottom) 7.5.) Have manip belts change tube angle to corrospond with arm position. 5.)drive forward (while following line) 60 inches 6.) Turn 30/-30 degrees 8.) Go forward (based on preset position) 9.) Eject tube 10.) Back up (Same distance as step 8)
	Raise arm to max height Go to -> Final Action
