I will be out of town this weekend, so worst case we could try Monday.
The compressor not working could be due to a couple of things (programming, bad
sensor, sensor wiring etc...) What we can do is hardwire the compressor
shutoff switch into the power connection for the compressor. We will know
right away if there is a problem if the compressor doesn't startup or shutoff
between 120-130 psi. We could leave it hardwired in since using it as a sensor
input was only a requirement for the competition inspection.

Subject: [team2039] why the kicker never seemed to work
At the meeting on tuesday I found why the kicker never seemed to work. After I
ran sinple code on the robot, I found that the encoder was not tracking
correctly. I opened up the encoder, and what do you know, the part with the
tracking stripes was faded scratched and full of inperfections.
With the help of bud, I was able to put a new clean tracker on the encoder, and
I tested it out with the same simple code and it works.
Now we have a problem, the compressor is not starting, and we cannot find the
strange xbox connection controller thing. that connects the usb
I think we need to go in on saturday or some oter time to fix it
what we need to buy
2 usb xbox controllers
