Re: It's ship date! Is YOUR robot ready?

WE ARE NOT READY

please help when we try to run the robot kicker code through developer mode to see how it runs, it gives us error -44085. It says that the C-Rio is wrong revision or version, but we updated the C-rio to the latest one. We also did the update 2.1 but update 1.1 is not happening! i dont know why. Can that be the probelm? or is it something wrong with the code?

Is the kicker Sub vi suppose to run under teleop? or just attached to robootmain in a while loop?

please help its the last day and we are not done AT ALL .. too many experementing :@

Our 'bot just got some wiring and pneumatics neatened up, it can drive, auto-kick, and block (wait, block? what?!) and just got a fresh coat of paint.

Re: It's ship date! Is YOUR robot ready?

Ehhh. Haha. We wasted so much time rebuilding the entire robot (Three times) that the programming team has had like two days + today to get anything done. Our autonomous code works though! Our kicker works, and the lifter does too (In theory). There is no code for that yet though.

I know....but there are those pesky rules....

And getting students to work on stuff before it's actually needed, is a challenge that sometimes gets the better of me.

Re: It's ship date! Is YOUR robot ready?

We could use some more time. Our team was in the school until 11:15 last night- when the janitors and security guards all left and kicked us out. So today, we are all begging out of any classes we can in order to get some last second work done. We just have some small pneumatics issues, and need to test, adjust, and fix code. But hopefully, the planets will all align, and we will be ready come regionals!

The ship date is today? Are you sure? Seems like we should have another week or so.

Re: It's ship date! Is YOUR robot ready?

About an hour before the robot got put in the crate, the gate latch worked and the kicker fired multiple precharge shots at any PSI. A hanging arm was also close enough to get fixed in 8 hours at the event, after adjusting it to not cause rampant safety violations with opening speed. Posession is to be determined. I guess we're alright in terms of done-ness.
