In 2004 we were fortunate to finally add a programming mentor and could do more than run the default program.
We used an array of four optical sensor for line following and a seperate sensor for proximity to the wall. We also used some limit switches to stop rotation on our biggens ball arm. We had the pressure transducer on the compressor in hopes of cycling it but issues with autonomous occupied the ten weeks until regionals. I am very much looking forward to this season as we have added a second programming mentor and an electronics mentor. Question1: Is the gyro chip still legal? I seem to recall that it wasn't included in the kop last season but I am fuzzy in regards to whether it could be one of the off the shelf electronics purchases. Question2: I am researching encoders and would appretiate any reference data for sensor that you have used and liked. Part #, online catalog, ... Thanks ,APS |
