Re: Statistics on top 20 teams?
 
Back when this thread was started, I wasn't sure if you guys would consider 3357 a "top 20" team. We were picked by the #1 alliance of Teams 254 and 233 on Archimedes. With the help of these awesome teams, we won our division.

At any rate, I thought I'd share our statistics.

Programming:
  • We programmed in Java
  • Our code was fully threaded
  • Our autonomous blindly drove and kicked, however we had camera code that aimed. Didn't use it.
  • No problems that I know of with WPILib
  • We did download the WPILib source, didn't compile it.
  • PWM control
  • Did not use the classmate for development.

Robot Design:
  • We used the gyro and camera
  • The vision system was set up to be used both in auton & teleop. We never used it in either case.
  • In the vision system code we tweaked the PID values. It seemed to work best with the defaults.
  • Drive system was direct drive, tank control.
  • 4 Wheels, front 2 AM Plaction, rear 2 slippery plastic from KOP.
  • 4 CIM motors, 1 direct drive on each wheel.
  • Material was standard KOP C-channel
  • Ball control via pinch roller made from pool noodle.
  • Energy storage for kicker - pneumatically charged elastic.
  • We cut parts with hand tools, and some were machined via CNC mill
  • We did not hang.


The Driver Station
  • We used the standard dashboard and a modified version (not programmed by us)
  • We used an X-Box controller for drive, joystick for all kicking and pneumatics operations.
  • USB seemed to work okay.

I did not feel the classmate was fast enough, and may have caused several communication problems on field.

I'm not qualified to answer any of the detailed questions on their behalf, but I can share that 1114 used Java this year, and their programmers told me they were happy with it and would use it again.
