Also, we made a button box (which we haven't done since 2011?) using the TI Launchpad to switch between autonomous routines, so thanks to their guides, this Wikipedia page, and Digikey, we have cool lighted rocker switches to select modes.
And thanks to REV extrusion and linear motion parts, 857 has its best lift mechanism in probably a decade.
PS: 2054, that was an awesome autonomous at Kentwood. |
Thank you for the credit but we'll have to pass that along to 4481, we got the idea from them after seeing some pictures of their robot design.
We have also pulled several design decision over the years from many other teams. After using the Team 221 chassis for a couple of years and seeing their chain-in-tube design it inspired us to design our own which is being used on the competition bot this year.
