One week in, what are you doing?

[Chris is me]

We're trying to put a redirector underneath the ball return so that as soon as a ball enters the field, we roll it right into the goal!

[Peyton Yeung]

We were hoping to cap with the vision tetra but our processor doesn't seem strong enough to handle the camera data.

We're doing a three ball auton ,then in teleop we're inbounding and passing over the truss to our human player, who will pass to our alliance partner who's sitting in front of the low goal waiting to score.

When the water leaks in to the control box it is shorting out all sorts of stuff. We are thinking of using tampons to absorb the water....

We get stuck driving in all the corn.

[nxtmonkeys]

I was thinking odf using pneumatic tires to float on the water. It'd take quite a few, but it should work.

[AllenGregoryIV]

We're building a drive train that can go over the 4" bump and an inverted wedge to deal with the teeter totters. Then we are going to shoot balls into the high goal.

(oh wait, that actually works for this game too )

[Landonh12]

Well, we're going to try to assist the ball down the field, hope the referees don't make mistakes, and launch a ball into the high goal eight times.

And maybe win our regionals?

[marcusbernstein]

We're going to focus on building a robot that's as small as possible so we can be a valuable ally for balancing the bridge in teleop

You're just not thinking with portals.

I'm thinking, I should find a team and put a stop to that!

[mrnoble]

Wait. Isn't this the forum for the ancient worship of Apollo??? Delphi, right? Right? Hello?

At the risk of tilting at windmills and putting this thread back on track:

We've moved from strategy to design and begun prototype. As of Thursday, we had built our first (motorless) prototype chassis using larger than 8" wheels. We have a backup chassis design based on multiple ranks of FRC 8" and smaller wheels still working as a plan B. We have selected the general location and operation of our boulder pickup and launcher, which will fit on either of those chassis designs. Tomorrow (Saturday, really one week in), we'll build a powered prototype of plan A to verify defense crossings, and continue maniplulator engineering! If Plan A fails or looks iffy, we'll place orders to prototype Plan B.
