Wicked awesome goalie is just what our team has set out to build .We are a rookie team and realized that if we did only one thing well and benefited the teams with more experience and money we might be a sought after commodity.
We have a blocking pole that can deploy to 112 inches in seconds and we also have blocking flaps that extend over the top and front of the low goal 19.5 inches to prevent top and front shots. We are having some trouble with the kinect programming as we are mounting 3 kinects on our bot to detect incoming balls from multiple angles and react to block. Has any team ever used multiple kinects in this way before that you have seen ? Our team is comprised of all programming students and we are programming in Java .
