Phew! Close one!



Say.... what if you blocked your opponent's platform and used a tape measure / tether to make sure your robot couldn't be counted as "on the platform"?
Joel's on to something here. New for this year, the teams of NiagaraFIRST will feature a special autonomous position system which consists of the gyro to measure heading, and 4 tape measures which extend out all sides of the robot. Then using 4 independent CMU cams, we read the numbers off the tape measures, accurately acquiring our location on the field. Good catch Joel.
