I wonder if it will involve any chase scenes with old ladies. *points to Rumor Forum*

we have four new videos up - week 2, week 3, psa 1, and psa 2. downloading may not work - the zip files are being weird. but the videos themselves work. go check them out! go to http://shsrobotics.org, click on media in the menu, go to the video gallery, and click either weekly build videos or psas.

The only problem I ran into was that the PSA's weren't found. Other than that, great videos and awesome robot. I know you aren't done, but it looks like the tetras could easily be pushed off of your robot by another robot.

wow what a bot. I'm truely impressed, and only half way through the season, looks like you'll be in good shape for this years competition season. Congrats.

alright, all of the links work. all of the videos should be available for viewing and downloading, -including- the public service announcements. there has also been an update in our robot section, concerning our robot specs, etc, in case anyone is interested in finding out more.

the week four video is almost done, and once it is formatted as a .wmv it will be up on the site!

Looks like your progress is pretty good robot-wise. I'm curious to know more about how it works... does it pick up tetras on it own or is it human loader compatable only? and how many of those tetras can it stack down at once? any functionability with the tall goals?

i really like the design and best of luck with your next three weeks.

we use the manual loading zone, no human player zone needed. we can also pick tetras up off of the floor. it can pick up tetras one at a time, put up to three on the robot, and then stack all three. we can stack on the center goal, and are practicing our timing for stacking the vision tetra in autonomous mode.

also...

we're working on the tetras' protection within our robot. a robot, however, would have to be pretty specific in its height and mechanisms if it wanted to push them off.

the PSAs will be fixed as soon as i can get to the internet - our computers at school have internet access, but we can't put our files on them. and my computer has the files, but can't be hooked up to the school's network! hopefully they'll be viewable soon.
