3310 Robot Reveal

[TheOtherGuy]

Paul, I'm hoping 3310 is going to release at least the controls code for the arm at some point. I think the FRC community would benefit greatly from a FANUC view of arm control

Anyway, fantastic robot! My second favorite this season. I'll be watching Dallas closely.

Considering you can't start in the AUTO ZONE or the LANDFILL ZONE, I imagine they actually reach from the space that exists between the two zones, assuming they don't move.

G7 When placed on the FIELD for a MATCH, each ROBOT must be:
A. in compliance with all ROBOT rules, i.e. it has passed Inspection. For exceptions regarding Practice MATCHES, see
Section 5.2 – Practice MATCHES.
B. fully supported by the floor, SCORING PLATFORM, and/or SCORING PLATFORM ramps on their ALLIANCE’S side of the
FIELD, and
C. completely outside of their AUTO ZONE and LANDFILL ZONE

Seeing 3310's smooth movements on the Dallas stream blew my mind. What sort of device/interface operates the palletizing arm on the driver station?

[Paul Copioli]

It's autonomous ... mostly.

The arm operator initiates the cycle. He can pause and resume if the gripper is off a little bit. Each cycle the robot pauses and waits for the ok from the arm operator. If the gripper is in the right spot then he hits go. If not then he can pause and manually adjust.

We are still working on speeding it up and getting our robot to the right spot in the first place. Should be ok today.

Very excited to see it!

I noticed that Paul was on a different team and saw this robot on webcast. Knew exactly where it came from, it's just black not yellow.

Any video of it in action? I can't watch the stream today.

I made the mistake of blinking and missed their bin grab.
