Awesome robot guys!! Can't wait to see this in person in Bayou!!

[AllenGregoryIV]

This was a great video, and your auto aiming was top notch at the scrimmage. The Bayou and Lone Star fields will have tough competition from this machine.

[BrandonHiggs]

Looking forward to seeing you guys at Bayou!

A well built robot!

I have a question: are you using Jaguars to control the speed of the shooter?

[Alpha Beta]

The time between shots is really impressive here. Looking good, real good.

Hey guys, nice robot! I have one question. I noticed you have your camera mounted off center from your shooter. How did you incorporate the offset into your vision control? How do you know the angle you are at as well from the target?

I have a question: are you using Jaguars to control the speed of the shooter?

Yes we are. We're using Jags for all of the motors on the bot.

I have one question. I noticed you have your camera mounted off center from your shooter. How did you incorporate the offset into your vision control? How do you know the angle you are at as well from the target?

We have a fixed hood, therefore the angle is constant. In terms of vision control, our programmers are still working on perfecting that... Right now, we have on our dashboard a line the the "manipulator" manually aligns with one side of the reflective tape to compensate for the offset nature of the camera.
