1629's Tripple-shot from center zone in Autonomous.

[PhilBot]

Just wanted to post this clip showing our favorite Autonomous program...

Planned for if we have an alliance partner with no auto mode.

Looks really good.

From what I've seen, rolling the balls into the goal is much more efficient than kicking them long range.

Phil.

You should probably read <G08> and <G09> unless your plan is to score for the opponent in Auto.

We were joking today about having auto mode start in the far field and kick 3 balls (which we can do), drive over the bump, kick two more in, for 5 points

Even being on the wrong side of the field during the video you would assume the same routine would work on their side.


Nice job Gaco, I can't wait to see you guys at chesapeake!

True. But I go by the saying "You play how you practice".

When we built our field we only had room for two goals. They just happen to be in the wrong corners for auto. There is nothing in the auto code that is side specific, so as long as the robot is pointing at the correct goal, it works.

Altough it was a problem for Aim High.

Now, the question: could you do that starting in the far zone and get 5 instead of 3?

Looks great! I can't wait to see it in action at both Chesapeake and Buckeye! I think you will find that our robot will nicely compliment what you guys do. Ours will do the back three while you are shooting the middle two!

See you all in a couple of weeks!

This is way cool. I wanted to do that. Awesome job, 1629.

It may just be our lighting, but we have trouble acquiring the target in the far zone. We will be able to just acquire the ball and kick, but without aiming.

I played with the targeting VI's, and was able to improve it a bit, but the target score just gets too low.

I also don't think we could keep full pressure for 5 kicks in 15 seconds. We need at least 60psi to retract the kicker, and they'd all need to be full power.

motor powered kicker....the only way to fly....

[Jester Jackster]

How could you shoot three balls form the center when there should only be 2 balls? or do you have human players bring in balls form the ball returner?

Watch the video.

how consistent is your kicker?
our robot has been landing shots continuously from all zones, without a camera in autonomous mode...
as long as it had a "drive perfecly straight" code using some encoders on the wheels, it usually kicks straight as an arrow...
