Re: Connect to joystick

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
I wrote a simulation of a robot (with holonomic drive) moving around and grabbing a ball.
Later:
Me: "So, do we have lasers on the robot?"
Coach: "...no..."
Me: "Do the balls try to escape?"
Coach:...

--One robot on the platform
--A third robot hanging from the first, and holding onto the second to stabilize itself (it's a...

Re: Size of platform?
The drawings also contain a Tower base piece that seems to add 1.5" to the height of the tunnel, so I don't think there's a conflict there.

Live video compression?
We want to have the robot send the camera's image, live, to the Classmate, but we're worried about bandwidth. What algorithms/formats should we use for compression? Is there anything in Labview for...

Re: Size of platform?
Thanks for the comments... this looks like a job for the Q&A.
Our team thought the cheap mock field had different dimensions, but the official game drawings are the same: 41x32.5

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
Re: Team numbers: After I read the xkcd about it, I started factoring the time. I still do it when I'm bored.
"So we can expand to 90" tall if we're touching the tower?"

Size of platform?
The manual states that the platform is 44x36 inches, but the blueprints seem to show it as 41x32.5.
Which is correct? I didn't see any Q&A threads.
(also: is the tunnel 16.5" or 17.5" or 18" or...
