Re: Decommissioning of USFIRST.org archived site
This is bad.
FIRST seems to not understand that some of us use the old stuff. For example, this Fall we built a demo bot out of some old FTC parts we had lying around. But I had a terrible time...

Re: Laptop Advice
I tend to discourage students' families from buying the typical "consumer-grade" laptops, because of the build quality -- lack of durability and robustness. I.e. you get mostly plastic cases,...

Re: Flipping Rule
So I think our video has a better angle on the tipping of 125 at the Boston district event that you're referring to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ljx-Dsy-N4. Note that the video is over seven...

Re: Are You Using A Camera To Align Their Shooter?

I'm Erik's programming mentor on 2877. The documentation problems weren't so serious that we couldn't get our Vision work. In fact, we just came back from the WPI District event and we had...

Re: Week 1 statistics
Your SHOOTING/TOWER scores for Northern Lights and Greater Toronto Central are identical. That seems like too much of a coincidence.
Otherwise, great job.
Really 0% Drawbridge crossings at Toronto!

Re: Static IPs on the field
People -- the OpenMesh OM5P-AN radio can run a DHCP server. Enable it!
Then set a DHCP reservation to put your Robrio at the .2 address (e.g. for us that's 10.28.77.2). Set a reservation for your IP...

Re: USB Cameras with roboRIO
Most USB cameras will work. Are you by any chance using the SmartDashboard? If so, then try the Labview ("default") Dashboard and set it to USB Camera (HW). Once you get a video feed there, you can...

Re: Radio wifi packet loss

Re: CRiO programming

I'm pretty sure the straight-down view (i.e. the top one) is wrong. That angle-down view looks correct, and corresponds to the game reveal and field-walkthrough videos (except the...
