ehm... what...
I've just been toying around with a square bot (omnis with equal horizontal and vertical force) as a way to learn some mechanical (already knew more electrical than the experiment would be able to teach)
Whenever I get a few minutes of free time i also work on fss (First Scripting Syntax) which was designed to be a combination of C++, Java, and
Wurst (which in itself is a combination of python and the native scripting syntax) but I've spent so much time developing a code editor window for java that i have no idea what im doing anymore, not to mention anytime my freetime is over an hour i just end up watching anime. (it would be worth mentioning I'm our team's only programmer)
fun little ideas for your team that i jot down in a notebook whenever i think of some -
Automatic error recovery
Code logic probe
Custom dashboard for modifying constants (SmartDashboard just nver appealed to me in that aspect)
Text-based auton system (i did this in under an hour, its not that hard. in another two hours i had a full gui and automatic compiler + deployment, which is ironic because i've been working on redoing that gui for the 2015 system for over 5 months now)
Voltage modulation (send a motor 8 volts)
vision processing (<insert cliche method to process images here>)
automatic controller detection (ps3, xbox 360, logitech, flightstick, yadaydada)
auton mode swapping (2014 we did it with start and select on the driver controller)
automatic ping reports (idk just a thought, if you thought ur robot had shaky comms during the match u can just upload the ping reports)
spibus absolute encoders (those won us an innovation in controls award and a judges award last year)
