okay guys i’ve realized from previous posts that i should be more specific: i’m coding my bot in cpp
i have a general question of how i should go about auton; do you use vision sensors to make some sort of ai that finds the most efficient path given a certain circumstance in auton? or do you just make paths beforehand and just find some way to sort colors? it’s confusing…
what software is there that makes this easier? i’ve heard about path.jerryio and pros, so i wonder what else i’m missing out on
we use rotation sensors, we have odom pods on our robot that have almost no drift so our auton as of now is a 5 ring solo win point. so it definitely is worth it, they do have to be omni wheels though.
I recommend when coding auton you start out simple and come up with your own path. No Pid, no odometry, AI, or advanced functions. A simple code using driving, turning, and spinning motors. You could even use vex’s drivetrain api to help with this. After you understand how to use vex’s functions then you go into making your own simple functions. Once you understand that then you move on to using and writting your own advanced functions. With this approach to coding you make sure that you make code that you understand and can use effectively. If you need help with any of this. I’ll be happy to help.
