the thing is that the competition is on a carpeted field so we need the carpet to try out our drivetrain and to protect the wheels from wearing out |

Re: Building the field :: where can I get the carpet?
We got our carpet donated from a local store. I know other team have taken home the old competition field carpet afterwards but that maybe harder in your case.

Re: Building the field :: where can I get the carpet?
Be careful about the type of carpet you use if your autonomous code involves any type of dead reckoning. In 2004 our auto code was completely dead reckoning, but the carpet in our practice area was slightly different than that at the competition. We could pick up or knock off the 10 point bonus ball about 90% of the time in practice, but when we got to the regional, we could only knock it off about 25% of the time, and sometimes we completely missed our own ball and hit our opponents.
Long story short - I wouldn't use any dead reckoning if I didn't have the exact field carpet. |
