Need your help

[Eisner664]

Hey teams, i need your help:
I need to right a program in c++ for my final project, i decided to make it on FIRST, so i decided to make a program that will ask a user ten questions, and then you will get a rank of how much of a roboholic you are,
i need some help on what questions to ask???

1. what baud rate does the ifi loader run at? 115.2 Kbaud
2. what is the maximum storage pressure for the pneumatics system? 120psi
3. what should one do if they want to lighten a robot? Drill Speed Holes
4. how many amps does the main breaker trip at? 120A
5. what is the heaviest guage of wire used in the robot? 6guage
6. what clock speed does the secondary (user) processor run at within the robot controller? 40MHz
7. what is the size of the pit area, in all 3 dimensions? 10x10x10'

Tell me what you think of these, I'll think of some more later. I can ask some higher level programming/electrical/mechanical questions if you want them.

Not bad questions, but the answer to number 5 should be 6 guage.

oh how about some camera trivia:

1. how many volts does the CMUcam run on? 5v
2. what communications format does the camera use? TTL
3. to what format does the TTL converter convert to? RS-232
4. how many kilobaud does the camera talk at? 115.2

1) What style 40 amp fuse block was provided in the 2005 KOP? Maxi-Style Fuse Block
2) In what year was the FVC pilot season? 2005
3) Who is the only man to round-house kick a solid chunk of aluminum and create 3 fully functional robots? Andy Baker
4) Is carbon fiber on the prohibited materials list? No
5) What was the name of the first FRC game? Maize-Craze

One of those questions was on my physics final, you guess which

If so, how in depth are your designs? (Rate 1-10)

~How? (Any way that works. )

And the ever-present, ever-important
~Why? (Why not? )

I'll post more when I come up with them.

to add on to that:

do you find yourself making 1/4 scale models of the 2006 and previous FRC games with vex kits?

do you go on chief delphi almost every day?

you worry about your robot feeling alone in the drayage warehouse?

ok i'm getting off now.

Gee! I don't know. Maybe I just don't get it. I have but two questions:

Who's final project is this? & Why can't you earn your own grade?

[KenWittlief]

do you work on your robot first thing in the morning?

do you work on your robot when you are all alone?

have you ever lied to your friends and family and told them you were doing something else, when you were really working on your robot?

do you sometimes dissapear for 3 or 4 days at a time?

do you ever wake up in the morning and you cant remember how many robots you worked on the night before?

I'm guessing that give this thread a week and coming up with 10 questions on his own would have been easier than picking from the donzens that will be appearing here.

sounds like the project is C programming - he's only asking for FIRST input to make it interesting.

OIC - good catch! So this is the uncreative C programing discipline. We have bunches who must have took the same class.

Actually, in 2005 we got the IFI panels- the 40amp fuse block was built in.

[Eisner664]

Those are good questions, but i am looking mroe for questions about activeness in FIRST



****Once i am done witht eh program, i will try to put it one the web!!!!!!

Sorry, that was a typo, I got my years mixed up, I meant 2004 (the big gold one, the year they gave us the glorious gift of 40amp breakers).

Maybe a better question would be:

What year did FIRST first allow 40 amp to run to a motor. 2004
