Quick Question

Other on team #135, Penn High School, from Penn High School and National Steel/Bosch/Honeywell/NASA.



Is it true that we can use whatever type of controller we would like for our robot? I heard this from somewhere, and I just want to make sure it's true.

Thanks in advance...

The rules are very specific. Innovation First
controllers only.

I can imagine...

Not much. It would be, IMHO, virtually impossible to build a control system in the 6 weeks allotted.

umm, when they say any type of controller, they mean any kind of PC COMPATIBLE joystick. good luck trying a WIDE range of stuff. you can use gamepads, joysticks (even force feedback...but double check with first), and even steering wheels and pedals.

they take some playing around with.

also, you can make your own from scratch....! make some aluminum, plexiglass (see through control sys!), or whatever else you can dream of...

good luck. (and always always check the rules.)

in team update 5, FIRST says:

JOYSTICK UPDATE
CH Products has discontinued manufacturing the Flightstick line of joysticks and
is now permanently out of stock. Therefore, FIRST is revising the Additional
Hardware List such that teams may now purchase and use any “PC joystick port
compatible” joystick, flight yoke, steering wheel, and/or pedals with a 15 pin
interface (i.e. not USB). Please note that not all devices are guaranteed to be
compatible with the Innovation First control systems, but most should work.
Also, note that not all joysticks contain center-adjust calibration features, which
may make use more difficult, so please shop carefully.
