Re: Autonomous Strategy
Ok.. heres what happened at the Nasa/VCU regional.
The last night before we shipped we had MB(our robot) getting closer and closer to capping the center goal in automode. Mike or mentor-programmer had worked with the guys for about 12 hours without a break and on the very last try MB's battery was low. MB found the tetra,lifted it ,found the goal and went to the goal, but because the battery was low it dropped it wrong and broke our camera mount. This was close to midnight and we had to get MB packed to ship. We did'nt have anymore time for it that night. When they got to the regional the already had another mount ready and put it on. I was;nt there thursday so i don't know how much time they had to recalibrate the camera. Then friday came. We were in the very first match (Gov. Warner stood next to MB during his speach). MB started out,found the tetra,lifted it,found the center goal and almost dropped it on it. If you see the video of the first match you'll see how close MB came to doing it. We were all surprised how close it did come. Another problem that we did'nt know at the time was with MB's outer most cylinder (the one that holds and drops the tetra). We later changed it out,but MB never got that close again. During Saturday they changed the automode as i think MB was having trouble lining up. There was only one other time MB came close again. We were impressed by how well 401 did and we've decided to change the automode to have MB do something else. The guys wrote and partly tested 7 or 8 different programs for MB before we shipped and did more testing at the regional. So when you see MB again it will be doing something different. I still think MB, with enough time could be made to run the center goal auto program well. We might change it back after we get home for demonstrations. mr mummert-mentor |
