Um... I think this is the thread for the St. Louis Regional starting in a couple of days. Champs will also be held in St. Louis, but that is a separate event.

I apologize for the misunderstanding. Good luck to those teams attending!

[protoserge]

LOL. That also explains why that list was pretty short. Good luck all!

Feel free to come by next year though! STL loves visitors from out of town!

I am very interested in your Kinect Vision system. Team 1706 has used it this year and last year, winning excellence in engineering at Queen City last year. What information do you get from it, location of target? distance? pitch, roll, yaw? Better watch out, 1706's vision system is very competitive, I would say it is the best, but that has bias. We are 9 for 10 from the feeder station and can drive anywhere an shoot and score for the 3 pt, also we track the pyramid and it gives us distance. 2 more days!

We haven't actually used ours on the robot yet, but I have done extensive field testing with it. Obviously we get target location and distance and we have the math worked out for pitch, roll, and yaw. We only use pitch and yaw, though. (Roll probably isn't the best way to describe the third angle we calculate..."field angle" may be better haha). It can also track targets that are blocked by up to 50%, which is handy.

We have our shooter calibrated with the vision solutions. It is so beautiful to see all my hard work pay off (5+ hours a day in the cafeteria programming alone with a kinect and a piece of lexan with a 1 to 8 scale alliance wall target)

Well except for having to put the climber on thunderbolt on thursday... Team 3885 has everything else complete. The button and shirt elfs have just delivered their presents last night.

[Merfoo]

Team 955 is going!

[mikedeggy]

So does anyone know where this event will be streamed? Really want to watch my team even though I can't be there!

I would like to say good luck to all teams, and everybody have fun

[Walter Deitzler]

Well teams, good luck, have fun, and 3397 will see you at the competition.

I have been wondering. How has your guys and gals practice day been?

First off, I would like to thanks your team. We played with you in two practice matches, and you allowed to test our arm height vs. Your full court shooting. We had a great time playing with you, and we learned a whole lot.

Asides from that, the rest of our practice day went pretty well. We got through inspection easily and put a higher torque gearbox on our arm. So overall, I would say it was a good day.

I am glad to hear that we helped, it was truly our pleasure. You also were a big help for letting us test our traction wheels in our drive train.

I am also pleased to hear that you all had a good day, good luck with the rest of your weekend.
