Field Visibility

I have a feeling that the rack is going to cause some serious driver visibility issues this year, especially once a few ringers are put on it. What do you think?

Re: Field Visibility

This is already discussed in many other threads, please search before you post.

Now that that is out of the way, I fully agree with you. Scoring on the other side might possibly be considered blind scoring.

Re: Field Visibility

I'm curious as to how all the tubes will affect visibility. Espacially spoilers.

If any team with the resources to do so makes a complete rack, could they post pictures of how the view is to the other side?

Re: Field Visibility

The Blue Alliance and FIRSTCast's coverage of the 2007 Kickoff addressed exactly this point in our hands on with the field and game elements.

Check out http://www.thebluealliance.net to watch it on Google Video. The segment you are looking for is near the end, showing the view from the drivers' station with rings on the rack.

Re: Field Visibility

Is it just our team, but when we built the rack, the ringers seem to interfer with putting other ringers on. If you put a ringer on the top layer and put one underneath the first ringer, they seem to interfere. Is this only our team?

Anyone want to try writing code that seeks out empty spider legs and hangs ringers on them autonomously? Add the ability to locate and grab ringers from the opposing alliance station wall, then have the driver sit back and let the 'bot do all the work.

Re: Field Visibility

Are the drivers allowed to have a screen that displays the image taken by a camera on the robot?

No you can have a camera mounted on the robot if FIRST agrees to it but it can not be transmitted back to the drivers during game play
