Wolrd Triple Play Autonomous Mode (WAM) Standards
Our team came up with a concept have standards for the autonomy period of the game and wanted to see what the CD community thought of it. The World Triple Play Autonomous Mode (WAM) Standards would be developed to help teams decide their alliance's autonomous period strategy. We mainly started to develop WAM so teams would know the search sequence of the vision tetras thereby teams would be less likely to go after the same one. It continued to evolve into writing standards for many of the autonomous moves so all teams might find WAM useful.
This is how a strategy session might go with WAM implemented. "Why don't we (#9453) do the BGS/Alpha/CVS move while you (#5843) do the BGS/Beta/RVS move and you (#7298) do the TOC move? Well, we (#7298) are certified in the Beta move so why don't we do BGS/Beta/RVS and you (#5843) do the TOC move. Perfect, we can do the TOC every time but we don't do the RVS very well." Here are some standards that we sketched out Note: All positions are relative to the drivers looking at the center of the field Alpha Standard: Robot starting in the blue left position or red right position shall pick up the first vision tetra found in a starting location in the following order: 3-8-4-2-7-5-6-1 Beta Standard: Robot starting in blue right position or red left position shall pick up the first vision tetra found in a starting location in the following order: 1-6-5-7-2-4-8-3 Charlie Standard: Robot starting in center position shall pick up the first vision tetra found in a starting location in the following order: 2-7-4-3-8 Delta Standard: Robot starting in center position shall pick up the first vision tetra found in a starting location in the following order: 2-7-5-1-6 Auto-Loading-Zone Standard (ALZS): Robot starting in any position shall delay 3 seconds and then proceed to auto loading zone Meet The Neighbor Standard (MTNS): Robot starting in any position shall "meet their neighbor" without regard to displacing vision tetras. Left Vision Standard (LVS): Robot shall place vision tetra on top of Left Goal Right Vision Standard (RVS): Robot shall place vision tetra on top of Right Goal Center Vision Standard (CVS): Robot shall place vision tetra on top of Center Goal Bump-n-go Standard (BGS): Robot shall bump the hanging tetra before leaving base Tetra on Center Standard (TOC): Robot shall place loaded tetra onto back line center goal (These standards are not necessarily logically correct and there are about 50 more "states" that I will let others propose & develop) With the understanding that a team member came up with this idea and I'm just posting it, I think that this is a terrific idea. Here are some highlights
With WAM, we would have to be very careful. I think that it is okay for those that participate on CD to write the standards BUT the standards would have to be distributed to all of the teams in a timely manner. I believe that a FIRST E-mail Blast at the beginning of the fourth week would satisfy this timely manner requirement. With all that said, I'll solicit Dave's (Lavery) advice to decide whether he thinks that WAM Standards would be too exclusionary or against the Spirit of FIRST. If Dave thinks that WAM is a bad idea, we will terminate this thread immediately. |
