Where did you guys get the digital pressure gauge?

amazing machine guys! looking forward to competing with you at CIR this week. best of luck to you guys!

I want to know how you guys implemented range finding. Coming from an Aviation themed High School, VASI certainly came to mind as a possible method.

HBR is very much looking forward to playing with Titanium at CIR. See you at the end of the week.

This looks totally excellent, unique and at the same time, so very 1986. This is a robot I could see on Einstein. Also a great video. I am psyched about the ultrasonic ranging being communicated via LEDs on the robot. Very cool.

Fantastic robot once again! Glad we got a chance to talk and see it in person at the scrimmage.

See you at Greater Kansas City! We're hoping you bring a wild card again this year.

We use a MaxBotix ultrasonic sensor for continuous distance measurement. When the result is within our shot range the color of our LEDs change, using three different colors to indicate how close we are to the center of our shot range.

It is a Keyence AP-33K Digital Pressure Sensor/Switch, purchased from an industrial parts vendor a few years ago. Automation Direct sells a couple of units much like it.

Thank you. And your robot looks amazing by the way.

Love that bar that flips down to hold the extra ball in auto. One of those brilliant little mechanical things that makes 1986 so, so good.
