Prepareing for Worlds

After US Open there was only ten days till worlds. In that time me and my team had to get enough practice in to do well, write an autonomous of about 100 points, and get a good presentation ready so we could have a shot at design award. This was a daunting task. We first just practiced until we reached the 160 mark with an alliance. Then we started the autonomous which is where nobody drives the robot the team programs it to drive its self. To make the program consistent we started to implement something called an x, y and theta system. An x, y, and theta system uses trigonometry and the sensors on the robot to figure out the x and y position of the robot on the field. Since we were not very familiar with trigonometry it took way to long but we got it done. Once it was done, writing the autonomous was a piece of cake. I had almost programed half the field when I realized that I wouldn't have enough time to climb the ramp. I then tried to make the autonomous faster and also have a different faster strategy so I could get up the ramp. But that took time and now I'm not even half done and we fly to worlds, held in Kentucky, tomorrow. It looks like I will have to try to program it at worlds which might work because worlds is a four day event. We also have to drive practice today and at worlds so it is gonna be close. I am so exited for worlds and can't wait till it has started.
