Re: Robot in 3 Days 2017

While I support your sentiments ... It is my belief that Ri3D is a decent starting point. Anyone who brings a Ri3D robot to a competition will have a hard time winning.

Ri3D gives a very good...

Re: [FRC BLOG] This isn't a Robot, Housing, and Throwing Things

While I believe you are right that is could be enforced, I do not believe it will be enforced.

Re: [FRC BLOG] This isn't a Robot, Housing, and Throwing Things

Unfortunately, I believe that this will be just another unenforceable, penalty-less rule issued by FIRST (just like the no saving seats rule) with no one given the responsibility of enforcing...

Re: Exhaust in Solenoids

Mike,

Just be aware that this method reduces the burst pressure of the tubing and can allow the tube to balloon and pop.

Re: New coach question: when does FIRSTchoice stuff ship?

Everybody misses something.

Good lesson for the students (and mentors :eek: ) to learn.

Re: T-Shirt Cannon

1> The pressure in the barrel is enough to fire the t-shirt, thus it is enough to fire PVC shards.
2> A box around the lower half of a PVC cannon might help. Are you willing to...

Re: CPU overload with java

Running 100% isn't necessarily a problem. CPUs do it all the time.

Running 100% on both cores ALL THE TIME, most likely is an issue. You don't seem to have this issue.

I wouldn't worry too much...

Re: What is the most ghetto thing you've seen on a robot?

This year at Dalton the RI (Hi Brandon) stated that the robot signal light was too low and could not be seen from all angles.

Re: Ball bouncing out of the high Goal

Which is why I posted the way I did.

By dampening rather than stopping the shot, it effectively limits the energy (speed) in the shot.

JMHO

Re: Ball bouncing out of the high Goal

I believe your statement here is incorrect (or just an assumption)

Please show where the GDC has expressly stated that the intent of the chains is to stop the balls after being shot into the high...

Re: The REAL chokehold of 2016

G25B may be employed here as the robot is attempting to blockade the goals.

Also, if this strategy was used against me, I'd instruct my driver to pin the offending robot at 30 seconds left in the...

Re: How to change catapult shot strength?

For the range -- you could use an electronic pressure regulator downstream of the main regulator. That would allow you to adjust the pressure from 0 - 60 PSI controlled by tour RoboRio.

For angle --...

Re: Flow Valves

Re: Districts 2017

Atlanta to Miami is 10ish.

Re: T-Shirt Cannon

I'll save my lecture about using plastic as a barrel for a later thread. ;)

Your pressure is not the issue. 110PSI is overkill. What your issue is ... is flow and reserve air.

Re: [YMTC]: Is robot debris still part of the robot?

Interesting interpretation of R26. I see your point as the detached part is no longer supported by the structure/frame.

Reading it that way, I agree with your interpretation and reverse my original...

Re: The Triple Tortuga is Contest born.

LOL. Yeah, just like that.

I do not believe that that video is a triple Tortuga because the third robot is just 'spinning in place'. But that "tent formation" is hilarious.

Please quote the rule that states that a fallen off bumper is no longer a bumper.
