Re: Wrong Field Measurements and Bad FMS
I can tell you from experience... these fields stretch. At Lake Superior, the carpet got so bunched up behind the drivers station it was almost a hazard. That comes from the carpet being taped down on the edges, and the field itself expanding as robots bash into it.
A good rule of thumb for any autonomous mode is to make it capable of 6 inches of play or more in any dimension. That'll take care of field dimensions being off a little AND robot position being off a little.

After talking with the students on these teams I could see the light in their eyes. These were their robots! Inspired? That would be a definate YES! - Steve W [more]
