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
  • 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

  • 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))


  • 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)




  • Go to -> Ending Action



Ending Actions

Start Positions and Actions:  ?
Ending Action: 0 Do Nothing 1 Stay at pegs (Don't turn) 2 Stay at pegs (turn 180) 3


  • Raise arm to max height



  • Turn 180 degrees



  • Stop all motors
  • Wait for Teleoperated mode
  • Go to -> Teleoperated mode



Approach pegs

2.) Turn 35deg Counterclockwise

3.) Drive forward 67.5 inches

4.) Turn 35deg Clockwise

5.) Go to -> Place Ubertube



Strategy 7
