Re: What can your robot do in Autonomous?

Great job guys. I was able to very easily program to dump into the corner goals, and I tried to make it shoot into the goal. But since I only got to test the day before ship day and there were a lot of kinks we're probably just be doing the side goal. But I'm going to also try shooting over a short robot into the corner goal for fun.

Re: What can your robot do in Autonomous?

Heh - please note this poll is hardly representative of robot capabilities. Around 10% of the bots I saw at Pac. NW can acutually shoot in autonomous.

As for our robot, we move forward, aim, control the turret, and then shoot balls through the hoop. We can normally get 3-4 balls into the goal.

Re: What can your robot do in Autonomous?

A second question to ask would be "what CAN it do in autonomous," instead of what do you PLAN to do. Many teams plan to do a large amount of things in Auton, but very few actually perfect their plans.

I can say from personal experience at our first regional (PNW), that it is VERY hard to shoot the center goal reliably during autonomous. It took us all of Thursday, Friday, and most of Saturday morning before we could get it to work. Only then were people recognizing this fact, and adding another level of dificulty: They wrote their auton to block us.

Indeed - the anti114 mode effectively prevented us from shooting.

However, as we have a turreting shooter - it wouldn't be hard to move the robot to the side a bit and unload from there.

Re: What can your robot do in Autonomous?

Our team (319) BIG BAD BOB - can shoot 7-9 balls out of 10 into the center goal... in under 3 seconds. We use the camera to locate and lock on to the light in autonomous. It is not a theory; we were very successful at the BAE Regional in New Hampshire. Our team led the alliance to the finals where we brought home the finalist trophy. Also during the teleoperated periods, we used the camera to provide an auto aim feature that was also 70-90% effective every time. Maybe that is why we attracted so much attention from our opponents

Re: What can your robot do in Autonomous?

our robot at first used dead reconing to get close to the target, and then lined it self up. We were shooting on average 8 balls per autonomous. The only problem is when you get involved with dead reconing defensive bots. the way we solved this problem was to add a wait timer, it worked twice and failed twice, unfortunatle the two times it failed were during the final round in manchester. i dont know if you have already competed but autonomous is i feel the most importent time in the game because often whoever won that won the game because it because very difficult to shoot when we were contested. good luck
