Don't Panic is a multitasking robot. With a strong roller in the front with a clear hopper for balls, this robot is very efficient as a ball collector. Jamming occurs seldomly, and with a very quick 'spit' of the balls is usually dislodged.
Autonomous had many options. Provided the correct alignment, the robot could shoot pre-loaded balls into the center goal. The robot's hopper could also be filled with balls and dead reckon to the side goal and deposit them all in there. Another option was to dead reckon across the field and interfere with another robot's autonomy.
This robot at the regional had drivetrain problems. With modification and fine tuning, at River Rage Don't Panic showed what it could really do resulting in a championship win!
