 I don't know how you can blame a robot getting stuck in the goal on the GDC. The field drawings showed all of the dimensions of the goals. If a team doesn't want to risk getting stuck then they need to plan around it. - JamesBrown [more] |

Re: How do you control the length a piston will extention/retraction?
Just to reiterate, coarse control of piston length has been around for a while. Here is a post about the setup on 1108's 2003 robot with picture and diagram. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...2&postcount=11
The two solenoid system work for this. I've always thought that the center stop solenoid would be a more elegant solution but never got my hands on one and the rules have changed around some as far as outside part go (I don't know what is allowed this year). The interesting challenge would be to do fine controls, especially under load, which I haven't done much exploring in. Last edited by ngreen : 18-04-2008 at 08:22. Reason: apostrophe s |
