Re: Can you score in autonomous yet?
 

We should be able to score on a non-lit arm...hopefully. That hasn't been written yet. :)

Re: Can you score in autonomous yet?
 

Be careful of when you write this so you're not in violation of the Fix-It window rules!

Re: Can you score in autonomous yet?
 

Yup, I know.

To be more specific, it hasn't been tested yet. (We all know how well that works :) )

Re: Can you score in autonomous yet?
 

all in 15 seconds? are you serious??


good luck with that:rolleyes:


We can score on the legs under the lit column, and add a 1-5 second delay at the beginning of it whenever we want, but we decided that unlit there were just too many variables to do it reliably without rewriting the entire tracking.c.

Anyway... we do have another that we had working some of the time, run the the side of the goal DR, and then track to under a light and score on the mid or lower leg on either side of the rack, so we're not bad off.:)

yea it was all donut's idea
he thinks its possible

Re: Can you score in autonomous yet?
 

Right now, nothing. The code has been mostly written, but not tested to score a keeper on the top, lit spider. If the camera fails to get a lock, the robot should drop its keeper and position itself and the arm to receive a ringer at the beginning of the match. Whether or not the camera part works, the positioning bit should be operational.

Re: Can you score in autonomous yet?
 

Our bot can read camera data, but does nothing with it.

Our bot has code for a gyro to go straight, but no gyro.

Our bot has the ability to choose up to 16 autonomous modes, but only the Do Nothing one is programmed.

Re: Can you score in autonomous yet?
 

Do we have to move out of the home zone before shaking the keeper off?

Re: Can you score in autonomous yet?
 

Definitely not.

Re: Can you score in autonomous yet?
 

Are there any rules about autonomous mode and if so where can I find them?

Can we simply shake off the keeper and set our robot up and drive over to where we will pick up the ringer before the autonomous mode is done?

Re: Can you score in autonomous yet?
 

I figured you'd be careful...I just wanted to send out a reminder to all teams....Your post just happened to be the one that I responded to :cool:

Depending on your interpretation of the rules, even testing needs to abide by the fix-it windows. I'd be interested in finding out how many teams are actually going to follow this.

Re: Can you score in autonomous yet?
 

So would I...I know we won't be testing until our first regional anyway, as our robot is down there.

Re: Can you score in autonomous yet?
 

We have the sensors and code to pull it off, and I think we have the speed to do it (drive wise at least, 12 fps lets you get across the field in 5 seconds or less). I doubt it'll happen anytime soon, as we're going to be hard pressed to get enough testing time just to get hanging the keeper working, but we can always dream.

Besides, a mentor has offered to cook the programming team dinner if we can do it, there's hard motivation in that.

Re: Can you score in autonomous yet?
 

So, week 1, not too many capped in autonomous, even fewer using the green light entirely(including us). Any observations, explanations etc?

Re: Can you score in autonomous yet?
 

At VCU, 384 and 1086 both scored keepers using the camera, and 540 came close several times. 116 and 1610 both scored "blind". I believe that those were the only 4 teams to score keepers.
116 attempted to score blind 10 total times, only succeeding once (would have been twice if 2068 didn't land a perfect autonomous block in QF 3.1). 384 scored 2 keepers iirc, and 1610 and 1086 scored 3 iirc.
116 will be upgrading and fine tuning our autonomous (and hopefully finishing incorporating our camera) for Championship.
