Re: Strategy: The robot checklist
(After a match)
Check any known damage cause on field - check
Do a full systems check (including checking the drive system for loose bolts, and putting the robot in Home position) - check
Put battery on charge.
(Random programming tweaking)
(Right before we leave the pits for a match or while in queing area)
Tether up.
Put in new battery.
(With controls)
Drive forward - check.
Drive back - check.
Arm up - check
Arm down - check
Home it! (Return to starting configuration) - check.
(With remote)
Check remote operation - check
Home it! (Return to starting configuration) - check.
Check battery voltage at OI - check
Untether - check
(On field)
Place it where it needs to go / check field position - check
Power on - check
Plug in OI to field radio - check
Check disable button in players station / make sure it's deactivated* - check
Wait for match to start.
Good to go.
*Often overlooked, we've gotten our drivers into the habit of making sure the E-Stop button is fully operational and not in the Stop position (checking for a bad flashing beacon light on player's station) before the match starts
