Sadly, the finals didn't go well. I wasn't able to diagnose or retry, but I believe I had a handyboard issue (the handyboard is the controller for the robot). I know it was not my code as that part of the code, I had not touched.

So in the first rounds of the finals, I lost by default.

Oh..... it just occurred to me, part of what happened. My robot found the white line (it didn't seem to be picking it up) and was heading back to the black line when I grabbed it, I fixed it (it broke itself) and put it behind the black line. Part of the code triggers when it sees the black line, and that's what happened. 1 sec after it saw the black line it started to actively seek the light again and looking for the black line (which was behind it). However it still seems there was another problem which I'll have to check by slowly going through the video and code. I'll let you guys know what I find. I'll also be showing you guys videos and photos when I've finished.

Several pictures showing the robot the monday before the competition:

A small animation of it firing:

EDIT: Why can't I put it into a grid?

Looks like a cool robot. I think i might of missed it in this thread, but what is your robot competing in? I saw the puck so im thinking hockey, correct me if im wrong.

you totally raped his ass. Even though he started to cross the black tape, which was supposed to be a boundary?
