Can you score in autonomous yet?

[JBotAlan]

Just out of curiosity:

Don't lie. Don't bend the truth.

What is your 'bot capable of doing during autonomous right now? Select what it does best if more than one option fits:

• hang a tube under a vision goal
• hang a tube under a non-vision goal with vision aid
• hang a tube regardless of vision (using other sensors besides cmucam)
• defend the goal blindly
• sit and look pretty
• deploy the ramp in the home zone
• position the arm/whatever scoring mechanism ready to start the match
• something I haven't listed...please, do tell!

Just thought it would be fun to ask.

Our 'bot can't do much yet, but it should be able to at least hang under a vision goal and defend tomorrow.

Our robot is pretty jerky now but it can hang a tube under a vision rack almost most of the time. We just need to tune our PID routine. Well back to work...

Team 230 capped in autonomous mode at the Winter War Zone scrimmage today. The Blue Alliance will be posting footage of the event later.

[Stuart]

nope cant score jack in auto . . but neither will any one on the opposing alliance. For better or worse we've written the most ruthless defensive auto code Ive seen in 4 years of watching/participating in first events.

Our bot sits there looking for a green light....and keeps looking for a green light.....so unfortunately, we can't test our autonomous at the scrimmage we're going to tommorow..unless I can code it correctly (on the way to D.C.) and convince the mechanical team that the autonomous mode won't make the bot go into full foward and destroy our arm

[Tom Bottiglieri]

Right now our autonomous mode sits and looks pretty. When I mount the encoder to the arm tomorrow, we should be wheelin' and dealin' within a few hours.

i seem to be one of the few people on my team to consider good auto play an important feature in a robot... it's what got us through last year.
im suggesting it as a last minute "side project"

We just managed to get the robot up and running today :/ And by "today" I mean at 1:15AM

We should be able to get some decent autonomous going before regionals, but we really just need time to figure out how we're going to get it on at all, let alone during autonomous.

That field-oriented holonomic is looking better and better...

[paulcd2000]

Wow, right now our robot can't even get to the light accurately. Encoder troubles, mostly. But it will hang a ring under a vision goal, i hope.

[MARS-CJ]

So far our robot can try to block the other alliance's robots, but we still need to work out many, many bugs. Mainly the fact that it only makes it halfway to the rack right now...

We're also trying to get it to score on the rack, but we first need to get our camera to stop showing us the "Red Light of Doom" (thinks it sees a light no matter where it's pointing).

[Doug Leppard]

What we can do today:

In practice match we capped several times yesterday.

We can cap low and middle spider legs.
We can do it from left, right or middle position.
Can distinguish lights when seeing two and decide to go to left light or right light.
Decided late last night not to go for non-lit leg.

Now working on what robot does after capping.

We can do this much because hardware guys gave us a bot to work on with over a week to go. Thank you hardware guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ours not only sets up the mast but also sits and looks pretty...

[kaszeta]

We sat and looked pretty at the CT Scrimmage yesterday, since we were primarily tuning our drive systems and training drivers. But our autonomous code is actually working fairly well (just too much risk with everything else yesterday to run it for real, although I would've liked to).

[Kendal Reed]

We deploy our huge arm and then kind of sit and look pretty. No CMUCam for us.

*looks at above posts* Holy **** it's Paul! Hi Paul!

[jesusescobar]

mine follows and drives to the light thats what it does best
