Autonomous Error Recovery and Odometry Control for VEX-U Push Back Competition

This year, opposing robots can interact with each other during the autonomous portion of the VEX U competition, Push Back. We aim to mitigate the disturbances caused by malicious interruptions by utilizing odometry calculations to track and estimate the position and orientation of our robot. However, implementing a full odometry setup is not always feasible due to space and other constraints on our robot. Therefore, our research group aims to investigate the drawbacks and benefits of various setups to determine the best balance between constraints and accuracy while gaining skills and experiences that have real-world industry applications.
