Is there a way for me to drive and then have the robot repeat it?

[M34]

If I am coding an automatic, is there a way for me to drive the route and then have it saved in the robot?

Yes, you can. It’s up to you to figure out how, and it’s your risk to account for field inconsistencies and lower refresh rates.

Here are a few links to get you strated.

Logging Data of Vex Joystick

Me and my team were looking for a way to log data from the joystick by using ROBOTC or PROS. It would be very helpful if anyone could give any ideas.

Experience with reruns

I’ve had only minimal experience with reruns. The two times I have tried it have produced results less accurate than regular coding. Also, driving perfectly for auton cam be difficult and may even take longer than just coding it. With pros and Okapi, you can produce very accurate autons relatively quickly, to the point where rerun programs aren’t as useful. If you could perfect one though, I could see it being very helpful, though.

Does anyone know how to code this?

It’s called a rerun program, lots of threads on the forum about this topic. here’s one.

REPLAY or RE-RUN

Instead of trying to prohibit rerun, what do you think about working on better tools so teams can make more complex (non-rerun) autonomous programs easier?

Rerun I think?

I have several questions regarding “rerun,” as I think it’s called. (As in you drive your robot, and then the robot does your actions autonomously.) First, what is rerun, and how does it work? Can it be done in both RobotC and EasyC? Is one allowed to use it to make an autonomous, and could you use it for programming skills? If it’s really that easy, then why don’t more people do it?

WOW, great post.

@turbodog is a renowned VEXIQ person, he’s posted here about how to create auto code.

Universal tool to help with autonomous programming.

We are working on the autonomous program right now, and it’s tough. You make your best guess on distances and angles, edit the code, upload the code, and run the code. Then you get to start all over and try and fix the problems, and hope you don’t wear out the connector/plug on the brain. What if you could design and run it all at once, and even mess up and keep going? Now you can. We just used this new method and got the autonomous run almost perfect on the very first run. We encourage you t…

This video is a good coverage of what he suggests doing.
