Thats a good idea, thanks!

Re: Team 3637 Autonomous Run

one way to speed it up would be to lift and drive at the same time. Your lift is the limiting factor. So if you can take away some of its impact on the time, you'll shave off quite a bit.

I'm seeing 6 seconds forward, 7 seconds lift ...
Do them together and you shave 6 seconds off your total time.

Yeah, I thought of that, I'm not sure what my team will think of that though, they really don't like the idea of it lifting while moving in autonomous mode.

Yeah my autonomous is not for the faint of heart... then again I'm running at about 6 seconds right now. It's pretty terrifying to watch if you're not expecting it.

Re: Team 3637 Autonomous Run

I think I feel safe the way it is and that there is no need for it to finish it in 2 seconds haha.

2 ubertubes in autonomous.

I use the camera, so basically I just need a teammate to position themselves right next to me, I drive out, cap the first. Then back up, grab theirs and cap it.

Basically means I need a 4-5 second cap.

Eeek.

Whats the purpose of that? Just have your teammate do it! Most likely your teammates won't have an previsions to hand off an uber tube to you.

I think there will be very few alliances with 3 autonomous players with an autonomous that has actual potential. Meaning there will almost always be one tube thats free.

And you don't have to hand it off. Just lean it against yourself. We can set our arm to that height, and back up and grab it.

Obviously I have a few more hours with the robot ahead of me before I can make this happen...

but still... it would be pretty cool.

Haha good luck. But is it even legal for a robot to start with an ubertube just leaning against it??

Yeah each ubertube needs to be in contact with the robot in some way or fashion. Our arm can't pick up off the floor, but if its leaning on them it can grab it.

Just picked up my rangefinders so I can actually see the other robot.
