---We do now, Goob!!!! :D No power tools for a week! :ahh:

Re: pic: 1501 Electronics Board
 

I already did know that!

Good Job, Wayne :D

Thank you, and yes it does weigh a bit, but with the way our team designs and builds our robot we can add some extra weighted stuff like this.

Camera... :ahh: who knows it could just be for decoration, it could be to trick you, it could just be there to add extra electronic coolness, or we could really have a camera.... who knows........... :D :p

PLEASE tell me that's an external FPU under that censor bar........... i want an FPU on the robot SOOOOOO bad........

Experience is the name of the game... At first you don't succeed, try, try, again.

Camera Video....

Re: pic: 1501 Electronics Board
 

Well, seeing as you would be at a great disadvantage in this game without the camera, and your program port is tied to the breaker panel, and the TTL converter's PWM cable appears to go nowhere, and there aren't any PWM cables coming out of the censored area, we can logically deduce you have the camera behind that bar. :)

Or not... :rolleyes:

Also, I see you added the remote program / reset buttons to your robot.

Re: pic: 1501 Electronics Board
 

Sorry to say its not a camera behind the censored box but your starting to think along the right lines.

My hint to everyone: Look at the cables that go to the censored box, there is TTL, remote program / reset cable, program cable, tether, breaker panel cable, and then a non connected PWM cable (what could that be for?).

It seems most of you are thinking either too high tech or too simple, you got to go in between the two.

Re: pic: 1501 Electronics Board
 

OK, a couple of ideas.

Could it be an ultrasonic ranging head, or perhaps just a connector that allows the electronics board to be easily taken off of and put back on the robot?

Can I get a confirmation that it is not an auxiliary processor, or would that be revealing too much? :)

Re: pic: 1501 Electronics Board
 

No to the first two. But it does make things simpler for everyone, well except for the person making and wiring this custom piece(me).

Its not an auxiliary processor, besides wouldn't that violate the rules?

Re: pic: 1501 Electronics Board
 

It could be, as long as it's in the cost requirements. The Edu-RC fits, I believe, but that's kind of pointless to be adding. Could be some sort of linux machine for processing other stuff (GumStix?)

Am I the only person that the picture shows up as broken to? (small box with small red X in it)

Re: pic: 1501 Electronics Board
 

Only one so far. What browser and operating system are you using?

Re: pic: 1501 Electronics Board
 

Explorer 6.0.2900.2180

Windows XP Professional

Re: pic: 1501 Electronics Board
 

I spy with my little eye flag terminals. Sheathed ones no less, nice. Ive only found one supplier, may I ask where yours came from?

Re: pic: 1501 Electronics Board
 

Radioshack, a bit more than i would like to pay, but well worth the cost, or at least i think.

Re: pic: 1501 Electronics Board
 

I think I figured it out! I found this while browsing ChiefDelphi, and it matches your description perfectly. :)

The only thing that puzzles me is the camera TTL converter cable going into the censored area, but I suppose it could exit along the bottom just as easily.
