thefro526: I have an idea for you. If you're arm is servoed, why don't you tell it to go up a little even before it's told to go up?

If you're arm is not servoed, why don't you have your arm go up for 1 second, so it won't be high enough to mess anything up if you don't want it to knock off, and then if you do want it to knock off, have it continue going up. It should get rid of the problem you're experiencing with getting a signal to the robot right away... we had the same problem.

Q, We don't use an arm we use an elevator (not really a big difference) but it's not servoed.(Our teams feedback is the drivers) So what happens is, at the beginning of the match the elevator is held about 5 feet off the ground so that it has to travel about 14" or so to get to knock off height. it takes it about a second to get to that height. Our main problem is the aim into the robot while its against the wall. we shoot at almost at a 90degree angle to our IR sensor. We may add some pool noodles to gain a larger height margin of error so that if we are late with the signal the noodles will hit the ball anyways. Check us out in Archimedes if you get the chance and I'll give you the breakdown.

So thats what happen to 2683 (vid two) I'd miss that match.
IMHO 1024 is one of the most robust and reliable robots there are... even when running like sh... umm a Ford it stll holds it own and wins.
The drive team works together like a QB & Center that been playing for years.
There program team is top notch and their can do spirit is unstoppable.
I know there are a lot of folks that love 1114 as if it was Obama...
They good... I'll give them that... but 1024 has a better overall package!

See you in the winners circle Q

Re: Archi-medes!

Greetings from team 2550.
We're rookie all-stars from Oregon and in the Archimedes division. I'm excited : )
This is our first year at the world championship, obviously, and looking at this forum, I think we're pretty lucky to be put in this division.

Now hopefully the airline problem doesn't force us to go on a 38-hour road trip and won't strand our team captain and our team manager in Pittsburgh and San Jose : \ </pessimism>

Looking forward to seeing you all in Atlanta!

team 2604 reporting for duty
we won greatlakes due to great alliance partners and got rookie all-star their, also we got 10 hours and a good design to make a shooting end affector (how hard can that be) hope fully we will come out with a shooter that can match rush's railgun like power.

Re: Archi-medes!

well...now we're calling in...well...

Team 1261 on board. We have a good design but didn't win any regionals. We're hoping to have a strong showing in divisions and hopefully make it to Einstiens...lady luck hasn't been with us, but lately things have turned around.... Who's next?

I see we're doing a formal role call eh? haha

Team 11 MORT is ready for Atlanta.
Chesapeake regional champs with 1418 and 2016
New Jersey regional finalists with 2590 and 1980
We're excited to be with an awesome group of teams and can't wait to play with you all.

Driving to Atlanta is actually pretty fun but than again I stop for the night and only drive like four hours the second day. Well we will see you guys in Atlanta and best of luck with your airline and travels. Remember we are going to make Archimedes the most spirited division.

That and I hear that Warrior Pride is pretty spirited. I am going to try and get everyone on my team to be spirited and pumped the whole weekend, but sometimes they dont like to be. So if you see 816 slacking off in the spirt department let me know.
