Re: What sensors do you use?
Team 180's robot has:
1 Camera. This aligns our turret in both manual and autonomous mode.
1 Accelerometer. This is used to measure the turret elevation.
2 Limit switches. These stop the turret if it moves to far to the left or right.
2 Banner sensors. These are used to space and control the balls in our conveyor system.
1 Tachometer. This measures wheel speed and we use this feedback to determine what the PWM output there should be to our shooter motors.
1 Yaw rate sensor. This is used for autonomous driving and for holding position while other robots are trying to push when shooting.
Also there is the pressure switch for our pneumatic system.
We also have the ability to put two encoders for autonomous mode driving. Since we have the same chassis this year as last year, using the encoders is just a matter of copying and pasting from last year's code.

Taking some parts from an old robot isn't cheap, it's like adding a piece with more experience to the new robot. - Marcel [more]
