Re: UNFAIR ADVANTAGE for CDI and new control system
Posted by Michael Martus.   [PICTURE: SAME | NEW | HELP]
Coach on team #47, Chief Delphi, from Pontiac Central H.S. and Delphi Automotives Systems. Posted on 12/4/99 5:23 PM MST In Reply to: UNFAIR ADVANTAGE for CDI and new control system posted by nuts4first on 12/3/99 9:04 AM MST: Totally NOT SO! The controls were beta stripped down versions. We used two Victors to run to variable And spikes ( relays ) to turn on/off motors. That is it. Teams were NOT allowed to program in fact the unit was disabled in many functions to prevent programming. We put all components in a large box and wired the controller to the victors and spikes. All teams did was put wire connectors on and decided which motor to turn on or off. No ONE-UP here. All they got was a physical look while you got a jpeg. Hey, a picture is worth a thousand words. The entire FIRST community benefits beacause Innovation First was testing and de-bugging the units. Testing and using diagonistic equipment in crunch time was the order of the day. Several 'Bugs' were found that may have made it to final production. The issue of teams 'crosstalk' was tested and processes were defined. No manual was needed because teams could do nothing with them. BTW these units look to be great for 2000 competition because with a stock program anyone can use them. ALSO the new diagonistic tool allows the technician to monitor functions including battery power at the touch of a button. No more ' I had radio trouble, lets re-run the match', as they will know 100% if that was the case. Sorry no advantage here! Also your team could have joined us. Several from a distance did. Beatty, WildStang, Strikers, Kokomo, Zeeland were a few of the teams. Ask them for an evaluation of One-Up! |
