More advanced Software Ideas..
Hey Guys,
This thread is kinda a shot in a dark but here it goes! My friends and I are one year out from robotics, currently software students in college. Obviously we are far away from our home team/don't really have time to be helping a ton but we were hoping over the summer to build something software wise for them. The only issue is we can't really think of anything to build, they have drive code down, and their vision code is decent. I don't want to take away from the current students, our goal is to build something that just wouldn't be plausable in the short season by younger kids still trying to learn how to code. Also, I think I heard that anything software wise that is not developed during the season has to be open source, which is fine by us. Also to you seniors and juniors, cherish your time on the time. While I was kinda a mentor for my team over winter break, its not the same.. and it isn't as satisfying (still satisfying) seeing the team do well.. because you weren't apart of it TLDR: What are some good high level implementations of software that your team or another uses? |

How about a scouting system?
Over the summer, I developed a scouting system for my team from scratch, where scouts bubble in a sheet, which is fed through a scanner, and the data is uploaded to our scouting website. The scouting website has match predictions, team comparisons, charts and graphs for every team, etc. |

I actually wrote them a scouting app which would collect the data and give them analytics already.. so year to year I can just tweak it a little in an hour or two |

Sounds like the next step for the team would be motion profiled movement. We were essentially in the same position last year, and a college mentor a year out from the team taught me how to do that in the off season.

This would be a drive program for a Swerve drive, or maybe a Maccanum drive. My team has never done this, but I would LOVE to see a good chassis that was driven relative to the field, not the robot. It would be very easy to drive, and could be a fast and reliable scorer, regardless of the game. |

Writing some kind of program for a motor to hold an arm up would be tricky, but a good software project. You would only need a motor, gearbox, encoder, and some kind of off-center mass. |

Some thoughts on things useful for all teams, not just your own:
There's a lot of projects and such in the FRC community, and some are better or bigger than others. Prefer to contribute to/extend existing projects, instead of creating your own (except where a clear need exists). |
