Re: Custom IR Board
Quote:
Anything I say isn't official, I'm hopefully pointing you to re-check your rules. [edit: I looked up <R65> and attached it below.] <R65> SIGNALING DEVICES shall be designed to communicate signals from the ROBOCOACH to the ROBOT. SIGNALING DEVICES are excluded from Rule <R64>. SIGNALING DEVICES shall: use either passive (no emission of any electromagnetic radiation) or active (emits some restricted form of electromagnetic radiation) means of communication © FIRST2008 FIRST Robotics Competition Manual, Section 8 – The Robot, Rev C Page 23 of 30 be hand held and completely supported by the ROBOCOACH when operated does not attach to anything or anyone other than the ROBOCOACH exclusively receives input from, and is operated by, the ROBOCOACH not receive any input or feedback directly from the ROBOT (the ROBOCOACH may receive feedback from the ROBOT and use it to control the SIGNALING DEVICE) be no larger than 3 feet tall by 3 feet wide by 1 foot deep (to fit within the confined volume of the ROBOCOACH STATION remain entirely within the ROBOCOACH STATION use a maximum of four different inputs from the ROBOCOACH (e.g. use four different buttons) during any single MATCH communicate no more than four messages, states or conditions to the ROBOT (please refer to Rule <R69> and Rule <G01> for additional information) during any single MATCH. Active SIGNALING DEVICES shall: use visible light, infrared communications, or sound as the transmission method – no other form of electro-magnetic radiation is permitted a. All radio frequency communications (as defined by the United States Federal Communications Commission) are explicitly prohibited. b. All laser-based communications by any device classified by the U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as a laser are explicitly prohibited. c. All communications must satisfy Rule <S01>. not be used to interfere with any other ROBOT be able to switch between no more than four states or conditions (i.e. send no more than four messages) be operated through only a single input at any given time (e.g. may not be operated by depressing two buttons at one time) not use changes in the signal states to encode or transmit larger messages (e.g. Morse code) Last edited by mneary : 18-01-2008 at 16:29. |
