Re: Team 97 Robot

I think we're going to try for the highest as much as we can (or practice with that for now) but whatever is most convenient on the field.

We have a control that aligns our robot up with any selected hoop using buttons on a game controller but the only difficulty we're having with that is having the camera always recognize the targets.. (which yes is a big issue). But once it aligns, using the distance from the camera, it sets a speed to the shooter (we have encoders on both wheels). If I can get this code working with the targets more accurately and tuned for the carpet I think we'll have a robot that can go for any open hoop. Another worry of mine is carpet turning. We turn much more easily on the floor than we do on the carpet :x
