It's a few switches for setting autonomous mode. There's a picture around here somewhere that shows what the knobs and switches do, but I can't find it. I think it sets the starting position, offense or defense mode, and which goal to cap.

Here's the thread that talks about it:

Ah ok! Great idea, our team is doing something similar, but not nearly that complex! looks good!

[Conor Ryan]

looks good, and i like the chassis. It looks like it can do some intresting stuff.

Is that the cmu cam right next to the compressor? that seems like a pretty interesting place to mount it if it is....

Just an FYI to everyone as this is the first time ive seen it come up this year, there are certain color codes you need to follow when wiring your robot. Team 195 as pictured has done so, nice job!

5.3.9 Wiring Rules
<R72> All wires distributing power with a constant polarity (i.e., except for Relay Module, Speed Controller, or sensor outputs) must be color-coded as follows:
• Use Red, White, or Brown wire for +12 Vdc and +5 Vdc connections.
• Use Black or Blue wire for Common (-) connections.

its blue....why?

Just a word to the wise, Duct Tape is sometimes conductive, there is no way to tell but measure.

Are you talking about the project box to the right (in the image) of the compressor? I cant see any camera parts comming out of it so i would assume its just a random project box to protect a circuit of some sort

They paint a plywood base, and their main team color is blue.

As to the questions pertaining to the project box mounted next to the compressor.. that would be the gyro. the CMU cam will be mounted sometime in the near future as right now, the cam is being put through its paces with the programmers. There should be a pic coming up tonight sometime with the work that was done today/tonight.

Since kickoff when I read they are now allowing blue for common connections I knew I was going to use Blue and White wire to go with our team colors.
