Programming

- We developed a new system for selecting the drive type.

-This year, arcade/tank, gyro correction, auto aim, and (if necessary) anti-tip will all be supported.
-At any time, all of these may be turned on. We needed a way to allow for different features to be prioritized. For example, anti tip takes priority over the vision auto aim.
-We decided to store the priority in an integer. Each bit of the integer would be if each feature was on / off. The highest bit would be the highest priority. This code became much more streamlined and robust than simply using if statements for every feature. Adding a feature becomes very easy.

- We also worked on having our code start GRIP instead of manually. This way the drivers would not have to start it before each match.

-After trying many different things, we were finally able to get the program to run GRIP. However, we then noticed that GRIP was eating up quite a bit of RAM.
