Lifter Arm Step Code

Is this legit?

Should this be 1 instead of 0?

I am not 100% sure, I think we need to ask @gint271 about that. I think it should be ok, because it will force the case-statement to fall through to the default case, meaning it resets back to normal, but what is the intent of that button normally? (comment more what a thing is meant to be doing dude...)

The intent of that button is to make the arm stop whatever it's doing and go back to its default position.

ok, now i see. here is what that should look like then:

• set lifterstep to a "retract/reset everything step" which is step 9 to make sure that the suction and arm are retracted as well
• reset the timer and everything, any time lifterstep is changed we should be doing this (except in the case statement...)
• make sure that lifterstart is True to make sure the clock is running

This should do it if I am understanding correctly, but double check it first:

if (joystick.GetRawButton(7)) {
    lifterStep = 0;
    timer.Reset();
    timer.Start();
    lifterStart = true;
}

Also, I think that step 9 and 10 might be combined, but that might require testing...
