Good catch on the bad logic, however, I thought the original intent would
have been:

      if(  ( BattVoltage < 129 ) || ( BattVoltage > 144 ) )
        result = 133;
      else
        result = (int) auton;

The idea being that the auton calculation was only valid within the defined range. Also, I've found that range checks are more readable when
coded this way:

      if(  ( 129 < BattVoltage ) && ( BattVoltage < 144 ) )
        result = (int) auton;
      else
        result = 133;

(or the other way round if the auton calculation is actually only valid outside the range).
