Robot Cart upgrades
Well we finished out robot and we had some extra time while our drivers were practicing so we figured we would upgrade our cart. Now we are currently still finishing the final upgrades but I really wanted to show off a cool feature we installed on our cart. I'll post the full specs on our cart tomorrow but for now here is a little teaser.

Very cool!
If the sensor is vibration-based, be sure to isolate it from cart vibrations so that it'll only respond to the music while the cart is moving and not pick up every little bump the cart hits (Though maybe that's a feature! :) ). |

Just want to point out that noise makers are not allowed to function at competition

Still a really cool function to use at outreach events. |
Re: Robot Cart upgrades
5052 (which built it's first cart) has something similar going on for TRR:

That's super cool! Under glow carts are the best!

Re: Robot Cart upgrades
For a brief period of time this season we had lights that went with the music as well only they were on our robot, I'll see if I can dig up a video of it.
EDIT: You can kind of see the lights switching color with the game announcers voice and field sounds in this video https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzQZ...hEZmtRdGM/edit |
Re: Robot Cart upgrades
I dont think anybody will mind a little noise making at events, I hear teams all the time. Team TNT plays TNT by ACDC before matches and nobody minds it

Hello Safiq
It was great to work with you and your team, the Broncbots and 5052 this past weekend. Your cart looks really cool (so does the one made by our alliance mate, 5052). Ours is pretty plain in comparison. The book I was speaking to you about is "First Robots: Aim High", by Wilczynski. http://www.amazon.com/FIRST-Robots-H...s=first+robots Please feel free to get in touch if you need any help. We hope to see you at Remix in the fall. Phil |

That said, it's an awesome, super fun idea for outreach events, and go OP for doing it. I hope it gets you some positive attention at non-FIRST-competition venues. I also love 5052's cart - definitely going to be 'borrowing' the photos for 1923, since our competition cart needs a serious overhaul. :) |
