Re: pic: Early Bird Control System
I wonder what the cost will be for just a 2nd CRio and Power Distro Board. Seeing many teams will have a spare Digital Side car and Analog Bumper.

I don't think there's any mechanical calibration to get out of whack. That alone is going to make things a lot easier on the drivers. |

Re: pic: Early Bird Control System
I have a WAGO tool. It's a screwdriver but sharp enough to cut yourself with.

Re: pic: Early Bird Control System
Don't hold your breath on that one. There are some very compelling reasons to keep the entire robot weight below 150 lbs.
120 + 15 [bumpers] + 13 [battery] = 148 Quote:

Re: pic: Early Bird Control System
I believe the NI fellows that made the presentation at the IndianaFIRST forum said one extra package will be available to each FIRST teams for $650 (any more and you pay full price).

Re: pic: Early Bird Control System
Exactly. And as an "old guy" who always seemed to get stuck with carrying the bot on and off the field with the human player so the drivers could set up the controls, my back is of the opinion that's still too heavy

Re: pic: Early Bird Control System
He didn't give a firm number, but he suggested that "less than $700" was the target. However, that "one extra package" is only the NI-supplied components: the cRIO and its plug-in modules. Power Distribution, Sidecars, and Breakouts are to be available a la carte through AndyMark (also at an as yet undisclosed price).

I believe Andy was estimating $200-$300 for the PD, sidecar and breakouts. |

Re: pic: Early Bird Control System
I believe Barry said "under $1000, and probably under $700". Whether or not he knew the actual figure is questionable.

Re: pic: Early Bird Control System
Looks like I'll have plenty of parts to model this year for the FirstCadLibrary.
