Our autonomous and teleop worked very well at the Wylie East qualifier, though we need to make some changes to the code base:
1. Add “backup” autonomous opmodes where we don’t go for the beacons (in case our partner has a better strategy for the beacons)
2. Tune the autonomous so we can get both beacons 100% of the time, because the extra particles can make a 50+ point difference in teleop.
3. Implement Vuforia/OpenCV as a backup to detect the beacon/maybe balls on the ground
4. Write extra safety code if possible to prevent robot usb disconnects. The 2.62 alpha significantly reduced the errors, but we still shut down in two matches. We believe the problem was caused by a poorly secured OTG cable (since we did not encounter any errors after taping the cable in), but we will conduct more testing.
