Nice work guys. Looks like it should be a real offensive force in Ohio, especially if you have your auton dialed in.


Love the Pacman bit at the end.

Thanks. The 10 point climber arms are not on the robot since we are cutting new aluminum plates for it, but it is quick and simple. The autonomous mode works really well. We have four different starting positions and it has been hitting 2/3 or 3/3 in the three point goal just about every time. We are using a combination of a gyro, ultrasonic range sensors and vision processing via the web cam. It helps that the programming team had the autonomous mode working a week before we had the shooter and loader together on the robot. I think the biggest breakthrough we made was in the cam and Scottish Yoke (thanks for the heads up on that Sean) design to feed the shooter. We have it firing as soon as the shooter gets back up to the desired speed and the cam is very smooth and repeatable. It weighs about 85.5 pounds with the climber on it, so we are still tinkering with a floor gathering device and a 20 point climber.
