autonomous it cold be an IR TRAFFIC JAM if everyone does it at once.

Anyone already have this happen? How did you resolve it?

We've used our IR at two separate regionals and we've yet to have a definite interference problem. What do you use as a signaling device? We just use a standard Zenith TV remote.

We have a robocoach with a beefed up remote, but since the programmers are so awesome on our team we don't really use him. He is just there to stop it if it needs stoping

Anyways I just got my raffle ticket for the robo-hug! Anyone else going?

We have a couple of remotes and a kluged together one with
3 leds on it. The problem the receiver gets bombed with a lot
of cross talk if two run at once. So you had two or more running at the
same time and it worked?

What happened at GLR with us and 33 is that the robocoaches stand at different spots, one next to the robot one away, and it worked then.

Also at BMR people were using IR like crazy and there was no meshing of the commands. You will probally be safe at Atlanta, if you aren't make a different remote or reprogram it. Seriously it takes like 5 min. to do it.

P.S. I also like the word kluged, I'm gonna start using it :cool:

Have we lost 2668? They're no longer listed as registered for Atlanta on FIRST's site... nor in our division...

It looks like it doesn't it :( . Hopefully it's an error

And also whoever had the 300th post on this thread totally should have yelled out "THIS IS SPARTA!!!", it would have been so cool. Sadly they did not :(

And we want to show the members of the CD community our defensive playing style:

This was against 217 on their quest for their 3rd championship (they didn't get it). We played super defense to take the match with our future alliance partner 33.

If any girls out there want to support 816 you can get your nails painted in either blue or orange, or both. You will see my mom and dad wearing. Yes, my dad has gone over the edge. But yeah if you want to get them dont just go to the stands and ask for Mrs Mccanney or Dannys mom. Or if there are any guys out there who want it.(You never know.)

Hmm... if I do all blue, I can support your team and my own at the same time. However, all the work with the robot means it will probably come off pretty fast...

1771 got 7 hurdles in one match?! jeez...
2 laps in hybrid seems a bit far-fetched though... ive only seen one team do that in a practice video, and it maxed out at 24fps.

one lap is hopeful thinking in this game (=

I dont know apparently she has some stuff that will stop it from chipping. But hey I am a guy what do i know about nail polish? Ha.

Well, this is only practice, in the actual match we'll be lucky to get a lap...but our programmers have recently hit overdrive and I think we'll be able to get a great hybrid in time for world. We should be able to get both balls off along with our lap...but we'll see.

I've seen 7 hurdles enough times to believe it.

2 laps though... wow Billy, I was right when I told you our hybrid was nothing compared to other teams.

Thanks, yeah we were picked for our defensive skills with 33 and 107, and we could have made it further if we (in specific 107) didn't have mechanical problems... But we all had fun though.

They seamed frustrated, but when they talked to us (we had pits right next to them) they were glad they lost to that and not something simple. I wish we could be on an alliance with them though, it would rock. Meeting them in einstien would be cooler though...

Maybe just maybe will I do that, it would be rare though that I would (but who knows)
