Re: NJ Regional: IR Legality

To clarify. I am not a programer by any means. They talk about speed as some kind of multiplier and percent of power, turbo mode etc. As our robot stands right now we only have the foward motion at a set speed, whatever way they set it, I know it is not full speed (18fps) which you could not rely on IR to control very well. You just push whatever button and the robot goes straight at a constant speed. And they have a button to stop all motion, just in case. From what I saw today, it looks like some teams have a reverse and I know our programers talked about adding it and that they wanted to keep stop, probably wisely, as the fourth option instead of reverse. It also looks like teams are changing the speed of the forward motion.
