How far is everyone in their autonomous programming
 

I may not be the programmer, but my team has just surpassed autonomous chaos.:ahh:

me tooo
 

hey i did too

We have designed and implemented a fully-functioning, 32000-qubit Feynmann processor that analyzes all of the possible outcomes of the match simultaneously and determines what action to take based on the current field state. Still a few bugs to work out, but it's coming along...

As with the rest of our robot....we haven't started yet.

we just got into it today and I think the programers got it undercontrol.

we're still trying figure out how we ar egoing to impliment the optical sensors for line tracking.. That will be tomorrow's task, if they didn't figure it out tonight.

BTW, I like the tag:

joo sp33k hax0r w3ll

as of now......we are no where with it....The same goes with our bot. All we have done is the frame and most of the transmissions. We keep on throwing around ideas for the arm....but I think we are on the right track now. Our 2 programers are going to have nervous breakdowns by the end of this season.

I was planning on using another Basic Stamp... or a Z80...

Oh well, back to the drawing board...

w00t!

Our programmers got the line tracking done today, in autonomous mode. Now all we need to do is bolt the sensor array to the 2002 bot for testing..

Ameya...Ameya...Ameya
 

hey ameya, pigs can't fly

what happens if your zzwhatever processor craps out during competition? Sounds really tite, but do you have a backup plan?

by the way, all your cookies belong to us!!

we had a program last year where we could record our input and play it back. We might use that. However, with wear on the robot, other robots bumping, etc., we are seriously thinking about a totally new program and some crazy sensors to tell our position in relation to the field.

Of course its hard to debug/improve when you don't have the target platform completed.

plenty of progress
 

FYI all, ameya was kidding. Anybody know anything about quantum computers? Keep on dreaming ameya.

Our team has finished line following code, non-autonomous arm control (harder than the autonomous), translational drive system control, goal seeker code...and a few pointless secrets. Enjoy catching up to the uber-coders :)

Re: plenty of progress
 

You mean surpassing them.

I beleive there are some people at the NSA that would like to look at that.

:D

We have been working really hard to understand PBasic and we are starting to come together as a programming team. We are all new to programming and I think that the samples for line following and seeking out boxes will be very benefitial to our team. We will work on that this Saturday.

Feynman.. ok sorry.. he is my favorite quantum theorist/teacher/cool guy.
