working out st@te diagram

I copied the basic setup for what I'm programming for this task list. 
It's a word translation (step by step) of the diagram I had made.
It's essentially just the Motors that power the left and right side of the robot,
two for the claws (one for each claw), a Pot and Enc0der to measure change in angle (either angle is equal to zero and runs at one speed, or is not equal to zero (ie at a gradient) and runs at a slower speed (because of the momentum it won't need to be as fast when it is on a gradated ramp), and one to follow the device that follows a line. Also, one to deactivate it from aut0nomous to manual mode, and setting up the buttons to control that. That's it for now; sorry.

  2. LOL It's just comments thus far. I'm working on it. I also am taking an online electronics class, and a coding class (I finished the first module out of four today). It's def very relaxing for me and a LOT more challenging. I like it. I can do it on my own, too, which is great. I like the idea that with coding (as with drawing), you're pretty much on your own most of the time. You can just go to a place by yourself; it's like meditation. I'm tired of being judged in classes and told what is "right" for something that's completely subjective like art. At least for an analytical subject like science, you're told what is "right" based on WHAT WORKS, and even so, there are MANY ways to get there. But you postulate a theory and then prove it. If you can prove it, you can justify it.
