Autonomous at Regionals

[neilsonster]

Team 772 used our camera during most of the qualifying matches since it was consistent at home but every time autonomous started in Rochester it was a few inches off. On top of that the fragile servo kept breaking. Overnight I wrote a different autonomous that went to the auto loaders which worked out much better (but the turning needs to be sped up a ton - if you saw our bot you'll know what I mean!!).

At VCU:

Rookie team and our alliance partner 1610 had a working camera that drove them to the vision tetra and they could pick it up. The lighting at VCU was bad - the lights were mounted on the sides of the field, but none at the back so some teams' cameras would not work properly. Lighting in the pits was better than lighting on the field. Thanks to Gerome the field manager for trying to help.

Hi...Thank you kyle for that note....We plan on improving our auto
mode at national (if we get there,bots already there)....
anyway our two programming engineers,my son william and miles babb...
and maybe oscar have cooked something up for MB....hopefully it
will work better...also we have like seven or eight other programs
we can load into it if we have to change.

during the regionals i think also in the first match it found the tetra,
picked it up and had it over the center goal, but would'nt let it
go. We fixed the release problem during regionals, but had some
problems between the lighting and getting it lined up.

We also bashed our sensors up during competition,so they will
need a little fixing.

Team 624 could pick up the vision tetras in autonomous. They just had trouble capping. Not just in autonomous, but in general. In the semi-finals, a vision tetra got stuck on their arm in autonomous and they couldn't get it off. Better luck for them in their next matches. :\

We don't have the camera on our robot because of the weight limit. We have it all set up in the script and all. We got the gyro to work on last year's robot, but not this years. I think that the interface was too different. We capped many goals in autonomous. We started to the far left backwards and we turned around, spun our turret and capped. I've been thinking on making a script to start in the center position with the tetra and capping the center goal. I'll have to start working on that at the Vegas regional.

at ucf probly the team with the best and most flexible autonomous mode was 233
in one mode they could knock down the hanging tetra and then go the autoload station and pick up a tetra from it

a lot of teams could stack a tetra on a side goal if they started out with it and a lot of teams could knock down the hanging tetras as well

Our auto mode held a tetra and used it to knock off a hanging tetra then stack that one on top of the corresponding goal. I like to think that we were the roll model at St. Louis for 1288 who did the same thing but that probably isn't the case.

There were no teams with the camera that I know of at St. Louis.

We could find the vision tetra every time, and were very close to capping. With a bit of de-bugging we will be able to cap in autonomous at Waterloo!

at ucf...there was a lot of good auto modes going

final rounds bravo to 179, 233..especially 233 able to get to the auto loader was nice

s.p.a.m. finally got ours to work well on saturday to cap and knock off the hanging tetra..i'm soo proud of our software team...auto mode before nationals

great job everyone..there were several more teams that did well too..can't remember numbers right this moment.

in one of our matches, we(716) capped the center goal near the driver station and our partners knocked down the hanging tetras. so we had a triple play during autonomus. has this happend anywhere else?
