First attacks old ladies
Dave Lavery was right... all we had to do was type in "attack old lady" and when we started up our robot it did. No help from us. :ahh:

Re: First attacks old ladies
Heres the movie with the faulty code that tracked the old lady
along with the robot hitting the old lady Movie with faulty code :ahh: :ahh: :) |
Re: First attacks old ladies
:ahh: That's pretty funny. Can I have your reassurance that no women over the age of 70 were harmed in the making of this film?

Wait, that can't be real. The code at least can't be.
*Waits to be called stupid freshman* EDIT: Whats that the code for? It's definately not for the robot. |

I also have to say that the robot attacking that old lady, well that's just freaking priceless. ivey |
Re: First attacks old ladies
I got a chuckle out of that, have to make a dongle with a big e-stop button hooked to the disable pin on the competition port when we test. :D

Re: First attacks old ladies

Re: First attacks old ladies
Well, however funny it might be, I dont think she'd like being called an old lady, but it was hilarious. I like the code for it too!!

Re: First attacks old ladies
ahahaha... i need one to attack a good ol enemy of mine :D Evil

Re: First attacks old ladies
lol *pulls out a wallet*
"how much? There is one annoying person on my team and ya..." |
Re: First attacks old ladies
Great opportunity to make a "Beware of Robot" button...

Re: First attacks old ladies
oh my... this reminds me of last year when we visited a nursing home. The robot was disabled and no one was near the controls but it drove forward and almost gave the poor old people a heart attack... :ahh:
|
Re: First attacks old ladies
Cool bumper sticker, i wonder how many people will have them on their robots?
|
Re: First attacks old ladies
this was very enjoyable but i would like to know if the woman is alright

:D This wasn't really funny as it was happening, but knowing that the lady is all right and seeing it now 100+ times, it gets funnier every time I watch it!
Go Dukes! |
Re: First attacks old ladies
Yea, I've been showing people this all day, they think it's pretty funny...I have the video on my PDA, also on which I happen to be posting this...music appreciation isn't so interesting (w00t for wifi)...

Re: First attacks old ladies
Until today I didn't know that 'old lady' was a color. :p
And what does that say about Lavery (at the beginning sequence)? :eek: |
Re: First attacks old ladies
The video of the practice session taking off and going in reverse OUTSIDE the intended playing field makes me say one thing:
Where the heck was that team's SAFETY officer during practice? It's never too soon to have someon on your team on-board to take care of such things. Glad to see that nobody got hurt.....at least that time. ps: It did give me some great ideas for use of "cut-away" shots in a video though.,... |

Re: First attacks old ladies
I hope y'all are joking:
Go back and read section seven (7) of the manual. Per 7.3, every team "should" review all the FIRST safety policies and procedures PRIOR to participating in an event.....so start that process today! Per 7.3.3, each team "should" appoint a safety captain. He or she will receive a special badge at each event....Again, why not start the process today during your own practices. Lastly, this year is a new guideline (7.3.1) about traveling together in GROUPS in strange cities during the regionals and at National. It's better to be safer than sorry. Nobody should be traveling alone (walking back to hotel, etc.) ever........... Safety isn't an "afterthought"........ |
Re: First attacks old ladies
Remind me again, what our personal safety at the regional (before, after, any time we leave...) has to do with a video of a robot driving towards an older woman??? :confused:
|
Re: First attacks old ladies (lesson learned)
It has nothing (per se) to do with the original thread.....
Other than the fact that this team's robot "COULD HAVE" caused a serious accident at a practice session. yes, the original video was funny indeed, but it's also a reminder that each team should be cognizant of safety ALL OF THE TIME (in the shop, at practice sessions, etc.) That's all. just a reminder. |
Re: First attacks old ladies (lesson learned)
Yeah, people tend to stray off the original topic. But I was joking. If my team wanted any safety hazards they'd let me have a turn with the heavy machinery. :D

Re: First attacks old ladies
safety is an after thought... after cut your finger off then you member you should be safe.... old ladies ha! i hope dan enjoys

Re: First attacks old ladies
who need safty when you got life insurance?
|
Re: First attacks old ladies
hmm, it wont let me view it, can someone please email me the file to:
goat6707@gmail.com I am very curious. |
Re: First attacks old ladies
That's very cool.
|
Re: First attacks old ladies
ok, I watched the video... and though you can't really see much of the "old" lady, she didn't look too old to me... was she old? And just how old exactly?
|
Re: First attacks old ladies
Our robot emptied all ten balls into the refs/judges/ifi table on thursday of NJ, 3 of those shots were at one of our mentors :). It was soooo funny, The IFI guys and computer guys were clinging to the table, covering their laptops. eventually we did get the code right though, we just needed to throw on a WORKING pot.

Re: First attacks old ladies
Give them a break guys! We're all human. When stuff goes really bad sometimes I'm a bit too busy thinking something roughly censored to be "oh no" to manage to do anything. It's perfectly understandable.
If you did notice the gap between the robot being turned on and the robot hitting was about 3 seconds. There were no more than 2 seconds between the man in the suit yelling "woah woah woah" and the motors stopping. Personally I think that pretty good. It can easily take at least 2 of the first 3 seconds for the person on the disable button realize the driver is not actually pressing the joysticks (most of all if that person is being a good safety officer and watching the robot very intently.) After that it is pretty evident it needs to be disabled since it is heading towards the lady. Personally though? With one second to spare and a robot speeding towards an old lady? I am not sure I'd have my wits about me to stop the robot in time. I mean nobody in that room even came back into reality enough to shout something until the robot had already hit. Even if they had disabled it instantly that robot was going at a decent speed and using the stock transmissions. Those CIM motors don't stop on command...they slow down slowly. The robot probably would have hit her anyway going at that speed. In order to not hit her the safety officer would have had to actually leave the robot on and the driver would have had to pull into full reverse...and even then...it might have hit depending on reflex times. Team safety is thinking ahead and knowing what to do in certain cases. Accidents happen even in very safe circumstances. If you guys have a "robot attacking old lady" drills regularly scheduled and an emergency response all planned out I'm impressed. However you'll have to bear with the rest of us being human...and just not able to foresee some things. |
Re: First attacks old ladies
I stil think FIRST should put up an autonomous code that turns around and fires balls into the crowd. Think about how much fun that would be. and it would be really hard to actually get hurt.

Re: First attacks old ladies
Okay, not point blank, but from firing into th eupper stands? So 20 feet away? Also, can someone in post the video in a different format? My computers being stupid and it keep sopening real player for it and I can't open it in any other format. :confused:

Re: First attacks old ladies

Re: First attacks old ladies
I know how those robots can get out of hand sometimes.
It's almost like they have a mind of their own... |
