Re: 2005 Electricals or 2006?

While the main circuit breaker is rated for 120A, it takes a significant amount of time for it to trip at that current. I seem to remember someone quoting 8 seconds at 120A, 4 at 240A, etc. ...

Re: Music at the competitions

I must say that I was impressed at both PNW and SVR by the choice of music... seemed to me at least that the classic rock and techno were the best. :) I did hear a few songs that I wouldn't have...

Whoo, sure hope that the spike never goes in reverse due to a programming error!

Re: 120 amp maxi breaker

If you look at the Kit of Parts, it lists the part number (don't remember it off the top of my head). By searching for that part number (I used Google), you find that Terminal Supply Co sells it. ...

Re: Time available between NEW_SPI_DATA and Putdata

I'd say some testing might be in order. I've heard people say it's between a quarter and half a second, maybe more, but I can't vouch for that personally. I'd say that if you're taking more than...

Re: Balls bouncing out of goal

In our entire day of playing, we only had three or four shots bounce out. I'd propose that those of you who are having 50% bounce out should shoot a bit slower or tone down the spin a bit... we're...

Re: Linux handholding needed

There's a good makefile floating around for specifically this purpose - it calls wine and mcc18 properly. There are a few things you have to do to make it work - I seem to remember that I had to...

Re: Camera does not search in autonomous mode after reset

For the record, I was talking specifically about the camera communications state machine - when I inserted a default to catch the improper 'zero' state, it printed out errors galore.

Re: Camera does not search in autonomous mode after reset

It seems that the problem can manifest itself as a messed up state machine - where there is the large switch() statement with CASE_ONE through CASE_WHATEVER, the state becomes set to zero...

Re: The 8.2 (or 8.3) Battery Voltage Bug

We had this problem too - our workaround was to stop using structures. It seemed that even having a simple struct of a few integers would cause rampant corruption and crashing. I'd suggest that as...

Re: PNW 2006 -- The Pacific Northwest Regional in Portland

Re: Allowing the Ball into the shooter

We have a rolling axle which compresses the ball so it can't get through unless the axle is spinning.

Re: PNW 2006 -- The Pacific Northwest Regional in Portland

One thing that consistently disappoints me about the FIRST games is that there's often a 'reach' goal that is very difficult to achieve - such as using the camera to aim and fire at the top goal this...

Re: Week 1: Thoughts, comments

It seems to me that the intent to have a more 'full contact' game may have gone a bit too far - I have nothing against relaxing the hitting rules a bit, but it seems that now it's not being enforced...

Re: How does your auto-aim work?

The camera finds the target, then uses the pan and tilt angles to grab a pair of positioning numbers from lookup tables. Those numbers are plugged in to the PID control which aims the turret, and...
