Re: Who thinks the IR board's operational characteristics leave much to be desired?

There have been many issues with the FIRST KOP IR board, but we were successful in getting it to work on the Chief Delphi robot. We scored three times during the hybrid period at the Great Lakes Regional in Ypsilanti, Michigan for a total of 24 points. We missed two chances to score because of robot misalignment so the opportunity to score was 5 times.

I will be delivering a presentation about how we used the FIRST KOP IR board at Atlanta during the 2008 Conferences. I am scheduled for 1 pm on Thursday. Presentation title is "Using the VEX robot system to prototype the autonomous operation of a FRC/FTC robot" . I think of it as "How we got the KOP FIRST IR board to work on the VEX robot and then the FRC robot" but that title doesn't really sell.

If you would like a powerpoint copy of the presentation, after April 17, when it will be completed, please shoot me an email at marccenter@inbox.com
