Re: What can your robot do in Autonomous?
 

Shoot through the center goal from any starting spot, or dump balls in the correct corner goal closest to it's starting spot. No sesnors, so I have to use dead reckoning and timing and a little bit of luck to get to those corner goals...

Of course even though it's written, all of this hasn't been tested once yet, so it's all theoretical.

I think the question is what can't we do in autonomous :cool: .

Thanks to the brilliant work of Bharat, we can shoot 10 balls in ~9.8 seconds, and yes using the camera.

for those of you who haven't seen it:

Re: What can your robot do in Autonomous?
 

it cant do anything yet :(

but we plan on having it just coming out a bit and turning then shooting.

Re: What can your robot do in Autonomous?
 

Good to know you have many Autonomous programs. I am team (1769) coach and we were unsuccessful doing the autonomus programming. If your team can assist so that we might try that during regionals.

We are rookie team in Kansas City, Kansas. We have a two wheel drive system. Those drive systems are the only thing we want to put in autonomous mode. Any ideas?

Re: What can your robot do in Autonomous?
 

Oh man, we didn't even start programming Autonomous mode until about 2 days prior to ship date. :D

Right now the UNTESTED code is supposed to go forward and turn on our shooter. We're crossing our fingers that it'll works :rolleyes:

That looks quite familiar! ;)

On a side note, maybe proximity sensors (such as an ultrasonic ranger) will be very important to avoid an auto-mode collision?

Our robot can hum quietly as it reflects on the disorder around it.

Re: What can your robot do in Autonomous?
 

If i can piece everything together at competition:

*drive closer and shoot balls using the camera. (6 optamistically)
*drive in an arbitrary path programmed with a neato gui thing i made last year.

Re: What can your robot do in Autonomous?
 

honestly i dont even know what it can do i hope it can do something by the time we get to trenton this week. i think we are trying to shoot in center goal but i leave that to the programmers

Re: What can your robot do in Autonomous?
 

hey this post is just so i can get 50 posts soooo
YAYYYY 50 posts

Re: What can your robot do in Autonomous?
 

Sounds similar to what my team is doing. I think we have more than one plan, though.

Re: What can your robot do in Autonomous?
 

I will be trying to add a "search and destroy" auto mode at the regional.
Luckily I had already made the sonar drivers before ship! ;)

Re: What can your robot do in Autonomous?
 

As of now, our bot can't do much in autonomous, but as far as I know, we're still planning on using the cmu cam at competition

Re: What can your robot do in Autonomous?
 

We are extremely efficient at autonomus( 10 out of 10 balls)

Re: What can your robot do in Autonomous?
 

That is because this year the object that the camera is seeking and will not really change color depending on other lights. Also you aren't aiming for something on the floor, you are aiming above you, which also makes it a little easier than last year.
