Who needs the top of the ramp anyway?

OK. Let's concede that you will hold the ramp. (Maybe, maybe not)

What are you going to add to that 25 points?

We determined it is not necessary to go over the ramp, or under the bars to get bins into scoring position.

Dave.

Go Sparky!

Hrm that sounds like a familiar design...tricky though

We have taken this into account weeks ago, and we have our strategy ideas ready, including post autonomous ideas in case something goes wrong..you are just going to have to wait and see. We're going to be at St. Louis, Chicago, Pittsburg, and the Championship event.

What about your aliance partner?

Assuming your alliance partner can not get under the bar how are the going to get over the ramp and get some points for your team? Because if they are slower than you are you will have to wait for them. This will open up the ramp for the opposing alliance to get by. So it might be how fast is your alliance that will determine how fast you get to the top of the ramp. Thats my $2.

Smile You = Us

Greetings from the Robonauts

Looks like we have the same strat... seems to us the only prob will be when someone beats us there
I bet you guys are a <5 sec robot, but, just think, without the arms, you could beat yourselves to the top (as we could beat OURselves). Lets just both hope we're paired with a REALLY fast ally when we match against each other
From the little I can see of your bot, it looks great.
Good luck guys, I look forward to watching your matches on NASA TV and seeing you guys at nationals.

We either beat em there and wait for autonomous mode to end then let them go. Or we use a different automode to slow us down and let them go first. Or we go up there, wait and let our partner do something on our side then we lift an arm, let them over...and put the arm back down.

Yes Independent Wing Control is very handy in situations like that.

BTW: is it me or does clark always listen to the same song when he posts?

Down: really fast
Up: a Medium speed (maybe 4-5 sec for full travel, to get 1/2 is faster)

Time

Under 5 seconds for sure, with improvements in the future (there are a few things we want to try out). We wont know our final accurate time until Houston, and that may not even be until finals.

That is an understatement. A FEW things... ha!

We really have alot of work to do in auto mode... it is one of those things that got put off until the very end. We did not get done as much as we wanted, that's for sure.

(I assume that many FIRST teams are in the same boat.)

I'll say that we have alot of room for improvement.

question

Those wings look pretty beefy, do they just sit on the ground or is the robot able to lift itself up so it is supported by the two wings?

It would be pretty difficult to move if it could do that, especially with a high traction surface on the bottom of those pads.

team 710 is finished with ours autonmous but it is likely to change, the prob. with dead reckoning is that any mechanical irregularity could throw your progy off horribly ( ie if wheel slips, you hit a box, if your traction is different than the first time you did it stuff like that )

I bet there will be a lot of what everyone likes to call autonomous chaos and/or suicide

None the less technocats your bot is amazing i expect to see you placing high at nationals

Good luck to you and your autonmous running also lol
