Literally couldn't have done it again...


This wouldn't happen on a real field :P

There was a match at IRI where it happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4WFg6hYcPY

Look at 1619 during AUTO on the blue alliance

Re: pic: Things you couldn't do again if you tried
 

We balanced on the Cheval de Frise during autonomous mode once. I don't think we'd ever be able to replicate that.

It was 2007... second match of the tournament in Portland. Our chance to show off our awesome autonomous in front of a row of judges and a packed stadium.

We'd spent the practice day replacing the soft carrier plates in the KoP transmissions that year as they had failed while we were developing the PID code for the mecanum drive. (All you script kiddies using a cRio to do it with a pre-programmed routine in LabView... hah! Try doing it from scratch on the old controller.) The ultrasonic sensors in the front had worked in the shop, and the plan was to drive to the tower, square up, roll in, and release the tube. Sure, we hadn't had a chance to try it in practice on a real field, but it worked at home....

I'm not saying that we'd WANT to do it this way again, but we couldn't if we tried. http://www.thebluealliance.com/match/2007or_qm2

This video was the result of thread a few months back. I can't find it for the life of me, but it's around here somewhere.

Re: pic: Things you couldn't do again if you tried
 

For some reason that routine never worked for us. So we always do it from scratch instead.

But related to PIDs... This year we had a 6 pneumatic wheel tank drive. We were tuning the PID and the robot started oscillating back and forth, and due to some of the motions, started walking side ways. We've got those PID values saved and would try it out more if it weren't so hard on the drive train.

Auto mode we are the blue bot in the middle.
We miss the first auto shot, catch the ball and shoot it again, and make it.

Without a doubt the the finest example of coopertition ever

During the Alamo Regional this year, we are fairly positive that our plexi-glass (meant to protect our electrical stuff) bent so much that it hit our power button.

This is a wonderful time to bring up the suggestions posted in the thread about reveal videos. I feel some (maybe many) of the videos in this thread have too much build up or do not give proper focus to the event that is meant to be emphasized. I realize that some of the videos are match archives, in which case the poster should be giving an over view of what happened, or at least the team to look at and what time the event occurred.

2015, Recycle Rush, I was operating and my best friend was the driver. We had a can and were about to top a stack of 5, we were close, when all of a sudden one of our allies bumped into the stack and it started tipping over. My driver drove right into the stack, pushed it back up, capped it, and backed away at the last second. We ended up winning. Highlight of my senior year.

I really wish there was video of this. ::rtm::

Re: pic: Things you couldn't do again if you tried
 

Does anyone have that video of the minibot that fell off the pole, bounced off the robot and then landed right back on the pole to finish going up?

My team once scored 300 points (or more) in Aerial Assist, but couldn't do it again.

That's right! I forgot we did that.

Re: pic: Things you couldn't do again if you tried
 

In one of our matches on Newton, the auto mode was set to go over a floor defense and the robot was lined up in front of the Cheval. I didn't have time to reload the robot code because they were counting down when I realized that the auto mode was set wrong. I don't know how, but we went over the Cheval by ramming it, doing a wheely, and landing on the front end. I wish that there was better video. We are the tall robot in red in the middle. https://youtu.be/m6kLidMNyC8?t=13

Re: pic: Things you couldn't do again if you tried
 

Sounds like your Z-domain poles escaped from the unit circle. If it weren't for the limits imposed by the motors, the controllers, and the battery, it would probably be even more violent.

Re: pic: Things you couldn't do again if you tried
 

If I'm remembering my controls correctly, an escape would send it unstable. We were astable and therefore on the unit circle.

Go to 2:18. Both teams shoot at about the same time, red ball doesn't get over the truss, blue ball bounces off another robot and is caught by 1939 without ever hitting the ground. That was the difference maker in the match.

Re: pic: Things you couldn't do again if you tried
 

In a practice match at the OC regional our auto messed up and accidentally shot another team's camera tower. A few seconds later the team whose camera was shot pulled it down and started to fiddle with it.

Dare I bring this up from the Perry Event this year? *sigh*

Our robot lost code (1 of many many times) and then decided to have a mind of its own. It went on a rampage and we ended up getting e-stopped while parked on the wrong batter...Here is the match.

Re: pic: Things you couldn't do again if you tried
 

Amazing picture!

While driving in a match at a 2015 offseason event, two of the center cans were lying down on top of the totes. I pulled one of them off and unintentionally flipped it over so that it landed upright. As in, it had rotated a full 365 degrees about its X axis(from the side of the field) from its starting position. At least, I understood it flipped that way. I didn't see the whole thing because I had limited visibly from the player station.

Ill one up you with a can caught on our bin arms in 2015.
