Is there a way to see the code as well (now that this thread is revived and I'm curious)?

We've been really busy with a lot of projects, training, and new students. So we've only slowly been working on it. We're putting in a longhaul session on it tomorrow.

We really just need a lot of drive practice on it at this point to prepare us for the tournament in two weeks.

As for posting Code, do you mean just the field-centric code or all of the code?

CAD will be posted along with a reveal video, etc... after our event in two weeks.

Oh the humanity...I've been waiting for a month to see your guy's video...guess I can wait 2 more weeks :yikes:

We're sorry to let everyone down, we've just been SO busy with so many different things going on. We haven't filmed anything good enough to post.

No it's fine :yikes: It just means your bot will be so much more super when it is done

Adam, If I may make a request here, can you post a sort of 'evolution of the swerve driver' video? A highlight reel doesn't really do much good to a team who has never done a swerve before. It'd be much more beneficial to see a 'this is how we were and this is how we are 2 weeks later video' - or at least that's what would help me.

Along those lines, do you have some sort of journal of your design iterations? This would be really cool to see.

We can't really do such a video, as very little iteration has happened since the vehicle has been built (and it's all been in software).

All the iteration happened when we were drawing in Solidworks. We sort of "got it right the first time" in terms of this design. This is only because we had previously made and extensively drove our previous crab drive, have been kicking around ideas for a repeat of it for years, and talked with everyone we could on other teams that had experience with crab drives as we were designing.

A highlight video and the CAD files are about the best we can do, we've got a lot going on right now.

What, "only" a video and CAD? Geez, how secretive of you. :)

In all seriousness, the only thing that inspires me more than the technical achievements of this robot is your team's willingness to share it with the world.

Re: pic: FRC973 Presents Emperor Swerve
 
Just added the CAD to our paper with all our robots. Check it out!

Some details are missing, and a few things got messed up during the .stp conversion, but the good stuff is all there.

Go watch the finals from the Throwdown. I believe that they are posted in one of the other threads.

The 971 centric camera only shows about 10 seconds of 973 moving over 3 matches.

Joe I believe Justin tv keeps an archive of all the matches. We'll be putting up the archive we have soon!
