Canburglar Mechanisms

How do both you and 503 actuate your canburglers? Does this difference in start time come mostly from the difference between the mechanisms, or does FMS initialization delay factor in?

We run a PID loop when auto starts to lower the grabbers. I don't think FMS plays that much of a delay factor. The delay should be less than 10ms. Are canburglers can hit the can in <450ms. I assume it would have to do much more with the mechanisms.

.045s? No way.

I went through frame by frame and it looks like .3s...seems a lot more realistic.

Congrats though. Your grabber looks like it's among the fastest that's been released.

Sorry meant 450ms
