You can compare this Robot to the videos from WPI. Their floor pickup is improved.
They had an autonomous fail, but you can see from the opening, that they are going for a 5 discs.
They go about their business very stealthily. Your watching the other Robots, the buzzer sounds, and your thinking: "Did the Rocketeers really score that many?"
Yup. |
Thank you for the kind words and recognition! The autonomous mode is actually a 4 disc auto mode and it was pulled off twice on Friday. However, it is at this time too inconsistent to be useful. It was done with dead reckoning and we may be looking into doing it with sensors in the coming weeks before championships to nail it down. Strange thing was that it worked 80% of the time at the practice field, but 40% of the time on the real field.
And a note on that last sentence, that actually is a pretty darn good description. I'm surprised myself when I check our scouting database and see the scores we're putting up.
