Re: Suffield Shakedown observations...

This may have been asked somewhere else, but is a copy of the webcast available somewhere?

As for our drive system, we have our motors the correct way, compensating in the program. As it turns out, this typically works a lot better for the type of filtering and tracking math we have.

Our bot had some huge drive issues at the scrimmage, much do to with out wheels. We replaced our wheels today, and we are back in action, running around like crazy and picking up and scoring balls.

As for IR, we attempted during one match, just to see how well it actually worked, and it quickly became unreliable, as the bot moved away from the player station. Must try a more powerful, concentrated IR transmitter. As a driver, I only saw one other team in total use IR, but I was only on or near the field about 20% of the time.
