TeleOp Programming Exercises and Challenges

Purpose of Exercises

Hands-on practice is essential for mastering TeleOp programming. These exercises are designed to reinforce and apply the concepts you've learned in previous lessons.

Drive in a Square (with REV IMU)

Write code to make the robot drive in a square pattern using TeleOp controls. Use the built-in REV IMU to turn exactly 90 degrees for each corner. Use helper methods for each movement.

Map drive motors and the built-in REV IMU.
Write a helper method to drive forward for a set time.
Write a helper method to turn 90 degrees using the IMU.
Use a button to trigger the square-driving sequence.

Servo Toggle

Implement a button toggle to open/close a claw or move a servo to two positions.

Map a servo.
Use edge detection to toggle the servo position with a button.
Display the servo state with telemetry.

Display Arm Position

Use telemetry to show the current position of an arm or lift.

Map an arm or lift motor with an encoder.
Read the encoder value.
Display the value with telemetry.

Slow Mode

Add a button to enable/disable slow mode for precise driving.

Use a button to toggle slow mode.
Multiply drive power by a lower value when slow mode is active.
Display slow mode status with telemetry.

Multi-Subsystem Control

Control two mechanisms (e.g., drive and arm) simultaneously with different gamepad inputs.

Map drive motors and an arm motor.
Use the left stick for driving and buttons for the arm.
Add telemetry for both subsystems.

Troubleshooting Scenarios

Practice diagnosing and fixing common TeleOp issues.

Fix code where a motor does not move.
Debug a button that does not trigger the expected action.
Find and fix a missing telemetry.update() call.

Reflection and Extension

After completing these exercises, think about how you could extend your code. Try adding a new feature, optimizing your logic, or combining multiple exercises into a single OpMode.
