4 years ago The drive train subsystem should implement odometry and angle methods, which autonomous command(s) can use to determine the robot's position and orientation on the field. This should provide a way to navigate the robot to specific field positions during autonomous mode - if the robot knows its starting position. We need to consider how the robot can determine its starting position. Possible tools:
- Distance sensors (e.g. ultrasonic, lidar) to measure distance to walls
- Operators place the robot in a known position (origin) and reset the position (e.g. roboRIO User button) before moving the robot to an arbitrary starting position
- Select a starting position (or origin) from the Driver Station

Define and create commands and/or command group for autonomous mode. Details TBD
