Re: Let's Talk About The Bridge:
Last year our robot had a "finesse" mode, that literally slowed down the arm motors and the drive motors. I think a similar mode (that can simply be activated by a button on the joysticks or a toggle switch) could be highly beneficial when trying to just drive your robot to balance.
If your robot this year ends up with any kind of swinging chute or arm, then you could probably use that to effectively shift the center of gravity. ALSO: Quote:

Re: Let's Talk About The Bridge:
What about placing an accelerometer on the robot that allows it to autonomously balance on the bridge? You could have it detect when you are unbalanced on the bridge then press a button that activates the auto-balance and drives to correct the imbalance. Just tell whomever you are balancing with that you have this auto-balancing feature and you have yourself 20 points or 10 points and a 2 point CP bonus as the case may be!

Please build a little robot like Team Thrust's in 2010, so we will all fit on our ramp during the match. Thanks 694 |

edit: any legality on "latching" onto other robots? The "t-rex" arms to push the platform down can be used to latch onto robots. |

Re: Let's Talk About The Bridge:
I'm thinking "robot one moves onto the ramp, robot two moves onto the edge. Robot one stops moving, robot two balances with accelerometer or gyro assist."
If three robots, it becomes, "robot one moves onto the ramp, robot two moves onto the edge. Robots one and two creep forward until robot three can move onto the AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! THIS IS SO HARD!" Should be awesome! |
Re: Let's Talk About The Bridge:
How much force is required to bring the ramp down?

On the video on Youtube they stated that if you place 2 batteries next to each other, 28 inches out, the bridge should stay level. Move it an additional 2 inches I believe, and it would tilt. Use physics, convert and stuff, and there's your answer! :p |
