3 | | The most basic requirement for scoring points in autonomous mode is usually to drive off the starting position some distance and then stop. However, to do something interesting (and earn more points), robots usually need to perform a sequence of maneuvers and actions. There are several ways to do this, but the simplest is with a state machine. The example below is the full Robot.java program to drive straight for a set distance and then execute a turn. |

We explored how to do this in the [wiki://ControlSystems/SoftwareTeam/Training/GettingStarted/Autonomous Autonomous] and [wiki://ControlSystems/SoftwareTeam/Training/GettingStarted/ClosedLoopControl Closed Loop Control] examples.
