I came across this gem while looking through YouTube:

I hit Ctrl + R and saw the title of this thread, and my heart started pumping immediately. Alas, not yet.

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

So last year.

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

Ah yes, the video that shows that advanced manufacturing resources aren't needed to build a world class robot.

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

My bad. Fixed.

Didn't mean to bait. Sorry. :P

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

Well, if you aren't going to, I guess I'll do it instead.

Didn't even have to click the link. Already knew what it was. You Monster.

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

10/10 would click again.

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

only click if ur a tru pro

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

Man, when are we ever gonna give that up?

When are we going ever let that die down?

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

Very interesting approach to this year's game. I'm assuming you used splines to program the "roll" maneuver?

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

I see what you did there.

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

I've gotten to the point where I can recognize the URL. Clicked it anyway, though.

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

Oh.. oh my. I am scared of what they're going to be doing to the step.

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

The Poofs will have a robot that plays defense. Legally.

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

They become the step and push all the totes and containers from the step and landfill into the scoring platforms creating multiple 6 stacks with containers and there other robot goes and grabs litter for those 4 containers.

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

I have been waiting to see a robot the drives forward to the step, unfolds at the edge of the step to become 77 1/2"+77 1/2+24" robot width for a grand total of (limited to equal to the max. width of the field or 179" wide), slides down between the upside down totes and the step face (grabs all 4 RC's on the shelf too), then backs up & drags all of the grey Totes back to the scoring platforms and out of the landfill area completely, then folds back together and starts stacking a lot closer to the platforms while still leaving the lane open to allow for the Coop- Stack points to still be scored. Could 254 be that bot?

Where will it be revealed at 2:54 PM Tomorrow?:D

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

You are not supposed to be a scaredy cat...364 is supposed to be 110 points better.:rolleyes:

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

I'm expecting nothing unique, just a regular tote/can stacker with center can grabbers, just extremely well executed and very fast/efficient.

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

My bets are on a 2 part (minimum) robot. 1 part is a version of Robowranglers Robin but based off of the scoring platform. Except instead of one at a time at the feeder station they would just shoves or throws totes towards something that processes the totes into a way it can stack. Something brings it to scoring platform sorter, sorter then processes and places it on the platform. Just wanted to get this in writing before I am proven miserably wrong tomorrow...

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

I bet it will be A well build robot for both tote and cans, it will have a full points auto. Oh and it will be made of melted world's medals.

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

The release is late according to twitter. Was supposed to be out at 2:54

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

They specified PST...

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

Pacific Time not Eastern Time.

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

2:54, their time (PST). Roughly 2 hr 55 min from now.:)

EDIT: May be the first time I have seen 7 people answer the same question in under a minute span.

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

2:54 pm Pacific

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

Just keep in mind that The Cheesy Poofs are in a different time zone.

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

Since they are in California, they probably meant pacific time.

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

Well now don't I look foolish. I'm waiting with anticipation!

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

It's pretty funny how fast we all answered that.
Over, and over, and over again.

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

That's just how excited we all are for 254's reveal; everybody's keeping track of the time.

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

He just wanted to clarify something on the time and then suddenly ninjas! Makes me wonder...
Man it would be real cool if a bunch of ninjas gave me some thin mints right now...

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

Have you already seen the robot, or are you waiting in anticipation like the rest of us?

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

I have not, I'm excited to see it.

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

How about some hybrid mode from the poofs. . .

http://youtu.be/ZaOiaC0I8pY

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

What exactly is going on there? What was hybrid mode? It appears that they're using a Kinect to track their movements (?) but was this a part of FRC's official game for 2012?

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

No. Since you can't use controllers to control the robot during autonomous, the driver was tracked via Kinect and various body movements translated to various machine functions (e.g. hand push would be shoot, jedi force touch would be move, etc.)

This is now illegal due to Cheezy Vision, in which a similar technique was used to tell the robot which goal was hot. It "isn't in the spirit of autonomous mode"

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

I am pretty sure that the Cheesy Poofs are in their own time zone - known as the "Chuck Norris Zone"

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

Other stories from an alternative FRC history:

• A single 1992 corn kernel is mailed to every FIRST supporter who donates more than $50
• The first robot to demonstrate bumpers before they were made mandatory also originally sported "shoulder pads" and "shin guards," but these had to be removed to make weight
• A 2007 "rack" was repurposed as a swingset in a central Manchester playground

(Yes, Kinect was a legitimate part of the game, but most teams didn't use it. 254 was poking fun at an element of the 2012 game design that seemed to be an afterthought. See 2012 game manual for more information.)

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

In order:
Awesomeness.
Cheezy Vision before it was Cheezy Vision.
It does appear that way. But, was it really for really real?
Yes.....ish. It did not get utilized much in 2012 as most teams shot from a stationary spot. In fact, that was an odd year where several teams scored in autonomous only as they had difficulty lining up their shot after Hybrid mode.

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

Was it a 3 tier swing set?

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

That's pretty neat. Thanks for those little tidbits of information, guys. :)

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

Someone on their team would have to correct me but in 2012 the autonomous period was a "hybrid" period in which the human player could control the robot via a Microsoft Kinect. Few teams actually utilized it. 254 would just send someone out to mess around and have a little bit of fun every match, this is in no way controlling the robot (To my understanding).

I was the human player for my team in 2012, tried driving with the kinect once, thought it was cool but hated every second of it. Had almost no control whatsoever. Could have been our programmers that year, could have been me, we just ditched it after a practice match or two.

Re: The Cheesy Poofs
 

I always found it hilarious that 254 mocked hybrid mode in 2012, only to define their own hybrid mode for their 2014 championship winning season*

(*that they only used because FMS didn't bother to work)
