 Ultrasonic sensors will allow you to do fundamentally the same thing that the bump sensors do...so you can slow down and smoothly stop your robot just before it reaches the end wall, instead of running into it at full speed and then figuring out "ohh! there is a wall there!" - dlavery [more] |

Re: 1516, 95% DONE
Is that a CMU camera on the deck? Or did you put the IR sensor on the pan/tilt mechanism?
This is something we considered doing but decided was unnessesary. |

Re: 1516, 95% DONE
I will say this, it is the base of the CMU...of course we've tweaked it....how and for what...use your imagination...that 5% left, it might account for that, but who really knows?

Re: 1516, 95% DONE
Hey the metal box design will be advantageous compared to all other teams' bots in terms of durability/robustness (the power of resistance against the giant falling trackballs)...

Re: 1516, 95% DONE
looks like you've made good use of those CNC machines! Are you running 4wd or 6wd? (I can see omnis, but I can't make out the rest from this angle) Can't wait to see you guys at SVR.

Re: 1516, 95% DONE
Yea, we've kept the machines running...all the base boards, electronic, pneumatic, and drive train went today in seconds, it was amazing to see everything pre-laid out from Solidworks, 2009 FIRST SPONSOR!!!!, srry, and then everything literally just gets screwed right in. Those top pieces could not have fit better...and to think what we were doing earlier this year for Cal Games...
Oh, and i've jumped on it, we have thrown, hard, the trackball...the robot barely wiggles...the box may be ugly, but its strong as....a rock? |

Were not exactly sure on the fps...it is faster than last year, but by how much we don't know...we really have nowhere flat to let it run...its all on sloping pavement
