REV 1 : Updated at 9:01pm @ Bryant University
THESE CHANGES HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED YET!

Changes / Additions

• Deferment Autos
  • Used for when the bot starting in the right position has a consistent right-side auto.
  • Two autonomous modes: DeferScaleRight and DefereScaleRightNoSwitch
  • Both autos examine the field locations at initialization. If the scale is on the left, the auto runs the default left-scale auto. If the scale is on the right, the auto examines which orientation the switch is in. If on the left, the auto will place the cube in the switch. If on the right, DeferScaleRight will attempt to place the cube in the right side, while DeferScaleRightNoSwitch will not.
• New Shuffleboard Stuff
  • MATCH INFO
    • Shows MatchType and MatchNumber from the DriverStation
    • Mostly for when examining logs and match performance, a visual cue as to which match the bot was on is recrded
  • TIME LEFT
    • Displays the approximate time left in the match (straight from DriveTrain::GetInstance().GetMatchTime()).
    • May use this number in the future to toggle a bool-box on the dashboard to indicate time to climb.
  • Renamed Gyro to GYRO to match other field-information case scheme.
• Made Elevator::GoToPosition() (hopefully) scale speeds to locations other than the very top of the elevator - useful for switch auto.
• Made drivetrain->SetEncoder() perform the while loop to reset the encoders, rather than have every use of the function wrapped in a while loop.
• Added new motor to Elevator
  • Renamed Motor to MotorA - added MotorB
  • Removed TRAYCAN macro and added LIFTCAN2 macro to RobotMap.h
• Fixed a mistake in FieldInfo regarding local ints in the initialize function.

Removals

• Error, StartingPositionChooser and CommandButtons from Shuffleboard
  • Also removed corresponding Commands from Robot.cpp but not from the project (just in case)
• Unused headers from Robot.cpp
• Lots of commented-out code that will not be used
• Removed lots of unnecessary SmartDashboard::Put calls
