Re: White Paper Discuss: Team 237 Triple Play Code
I hope I am not stepping on Mike's toes with this post but:

By using the CMU cam this year to try to accomplish one of the very difficult tasks in the game this year, we have risen the bar and achieved what our team motto proclaims (Taking Robotics Into Bold Experiences) T.R.I.B.E.

With the release of our code to the general FIRST public, we hope to level the playing field since only a few teams were sucessful capping in autonomous using this system.

I hope now that since regionals and the championship event is over, that all the teams who did not try to use the CMU cam this year (wheter due to time constraints, or lack of resources ie: programmers) can learn from Mike's awesome program, and try to take on this challenge to have a sucessful code of their own, if not for a competition, then at least for the experience of learning something new.

I hope see video (or hear) of more teams capping in the off-season competitions than have done in the regular season.

I believe this technology is way cool, and if it seems impossible for teams to use, then I fear it will be dropped in next year's kit..


Good luck learning the code, hardware, and good luck capping this summer/fall.
