Re: Using pressure pad to control during Autonomous
Everyone seems to be making the assumption that the pressure pad is active during the autonomous mode. Are you actually sure that is the case? I don't see anything in the documentation that would validate this assumption. I can certainly imaging that the field control software could be set to ignore any input (or lack thereof) from the pressure pad during the first 15 seconds of the match. Sounds like it may be worth a question to the FIRST Q&A board...

Re: Using pressure pad to control during Autonomous
Quote:
AUTONOMOUS PERIOD - A 15-second period at the beginning of the match in which the ROBOTS operate and react only to sensor inputs and to commands programmed by the team into the onboard robot control system Human control of the ROBOT is not permitted during this time. During this period, ROBOTS may perform any activities that would be permissible when operated under human control. All ROBOT operation and safety rules applicable during the operator control period are also applicable during this period. You do make a good point though. I'll get on the Q&A ASAP. |

Re: Using pressure pad to control during Autonomous
I have a question involving the pressure pad. The camera system is powered by a PWM cable hooked to the RC. If the Human Player were to step off the pad, would the power pin on the PWM be turned off, or would power still be present, but no traffic be allowed on the comm pin. This is also relevent for custom circuitry which may have internal memory, will stepping off of the pressure pad de-power this equipment, or merely cease communication.
Also, on a related topic, what is the FIRST policy towards wearable controls? Is it acceptable to have a quick disconnect, or must the team use their match time to put on the control system. Last edited by CJO : 18-01-2005 at 23:58. Reason: yeah, spellin' |
