Re: Serious Controller Ideas
Posted by Mike, Student on team #175, Buzz, from Enrico Fermi High School and UTC - Hamilton Standard Space Systems.
Posted on 5/21/99 4:20 PM MST In Reply to: Serious Controller Ideas posted by Joe Johnson on 5/15/99 7:02 PM MST: I would definitely like to have processing power on both the receiver and the transmitter side. This will coincide with the other great idea of RF Ethernet because we will now have an up-link from the robot. This will help drivers 'see' things from the robot's perspective. I would like to propose an idea from a technical design aspect. I think there should be two computers on the receiver side. The first would be the one we're all talking about: more memory, lightning fast processor. This computer would be responsible for the RF Ethernet, all inputs, and the processing of data. This computer would send it's output to a modified version of the current receiver, and then out to the motors. This setup would save FIRST some cash (which gets us a better system) but would also allow us to use something that we have come accustomed to. Anybody have any suggestions or comments? |
