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
1.5) Stop all internal motors
1.5.5) Stop everything
2.) Wait for Teleoperated mode

Strategy 1
Straight line (left side)

2.) If all done....
2.5) go to -> Place ubertube
Strategy 2
Straight line (right side)

1.5.) Raise arm upward as driving to position for middle peg
2.) If all done....
2.5) go to -> Place ubertube
Strategy 3
Center line (left fork)
1.)Go foward to fork (while raising arm to 90deg. and turning tube via manip. so as it is parallel to ground);
2.)At fork, stop at fork
3.)drive slightly more (to no longer see line, half the robot distance so we can turn correctly)
4.)Turn until line is visible.;
5.)drive forward (while following line);
6.)stop and turn to line up with pegs;
7.)go to ->place ubertube;
(Possible to back up, and repeats five and six after step six to line up correctly)
Strategy 4
Center line (right fork)
1.)Go foward to fork (while raising arm to 90deg. and turning tube via manip. so as it is parallel to ground);
2.)At fork, stop at fork
3.)drive slightly more (to no longer see line, half the robot distance so we can turn correctly)
4.)Turn until line is visible.;
6.)stop and turn to line up with pegs;
7.)go to ->place ubertube;
(Possible to back up, and repeats five and six after step six to line up correctly)

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).
