We've been known to use a battery that way as well. Why waste that much weight and compensate for it elsewhere? I really doubt FIRST would "forget" +5vdc is there. But, then again, the GTS from the 2005 KOP required +12vdc. as well, and it had to come from the battery. Besides, here are some quotes from the Users Guide: Quote:

As for a transmitter being in the KOP, I definitely agree, that is a possibility! I guess all this back and forth is fine for now. We both will know for sure come Kick Off. ![]() |

Re: pic: Game hint
So, I was thinking. Could it be possible even though all rational people might say this game will never happen ... Does IR work underwater? Or more importantly, through an air-water interface? ... sigh ... I was going to sleep over the holidays, now I'm wrapped up in the mayhem too ...

Re: pic: Game hint
I know pretty much for certain we'll get some IR emitters in the kit. Anyone ever stalled a Fisher-Price?
(sorry, couldn't resist) |

So some underwater positions will permit better transmission of IR than others. Last edited by Richard Wallace : 19-12-2007 at 18:09. |

Also, you will most likely be able to transmit at greater angles because the surface of water will (most likely) never be a perfect plane. Snell's law could come into play though if you tried to protect your sensor with polycarbonate ... which also makes me wonder if polycarbonate is opaque to IR ... Hmmmmm |

Re: pic: Game hint
Polycarbonate isn't opaque to IR
I think... |

I can just see robots with polycarbonate "banners" like we had on our robot last year with nylon cloth.

Re: pic: Game hint
Typically it's used to end sentences while writing.
Atypically, it's used to amuse certain NASA employees & screw with your head. Note that a " . " is also called a period, and thus could be a clue as to the return of a game with periods in it such as 2006. But then again... maybe not. ![]() |
