This is simply out of curiosity but I would like to know if other teams do off-season projects. The answers I'm mainly looking for are projects that involve using some type of control system so it's not just a t-shirt cannon but an automated one.
Later Posted in this thread:
Cool, it's nice to know that teams keep going even when the season is technically over.
FRC 3320 is building a t-shirt cannon robot, or more of we just finished it.
The t-shirt cannon robot has three barrels and it launches three t-shirts sequentially, so one after the other. I would post a picture but that would be too much of a spoiler to an April event we're helping out with.
Now we're currently building a soda dispensing robot. It's quite self explanatory, basically a roaming vending machine, just you don't have to pay for the soda. We'll be done building it this week and then it's being shipped to be shown off for a contest. (Details will be released April 27 - 29
).
Now does anybody out there use their FRC Control System for other projects?
Bonus question: Do you do it with LabVIEW? (Just out of curiosity)
