Re: How does your auto-aim work?

Anybody else normally auto-aim during the entire match, or are yall just using it in autonomous?

Re: How does your auto-aim work?

When we had a camera and shooter it was mounted stationary directly on the shooter. We brought up a dashboard that had a graphic crosshair that displayed where the target was.

So it wasn't really auto-aim, but still our idea on how to aim our shooter.

Re: How does your auto-aim work?

I'm really excited about our new system. The other day I finally got a PID loop coded up that uses the gyroscope to essentially lock us into our heading. It's really beautiful: it ramps up as you try to push it, so nobody will be able to push us off course while we're shooting. (This was one of the major factors in our non-victoriousness) The driver will simply push one of the joystick buttons to activate the self-centering. My next project is to integrate the camera into it, but we've been doing fine without it, since our driver has really good aim (unless being pushed, thus the new system).

Actually, I don't remember many teams aiming at you in autonomous after you guys won the award. And if anything, they had the "ramming" mode already on their bot from Thursday like we did.

Just my 2 cents..

Congrats on the award though. It definitely was a pretty neat design and looked nice too. David(Sanddrag), is your team going to the San Diego Lock In?

I would most certainly hope so. And hopefully with not only "Robot Man Jan" but also "Robot Man Jan B" Yes folks, two robots. If I have any say it in, it will happen. Will they be twins? Will they be different? Who knows. Find out May 20th.

I'm hoping for 5 balls in the center goal in autonomous. We'll see what happens.
