2010 Milwaukee Wisconsin Regional

[Sam2197]

to the said mecanum teams: WE NEED YOUR HELP! Thanks for the overview of wisconsin. this is our first year attending this regional and hopefully we can figure the game out quickly and accel in it.

Team 2197: We have a pneumatic kicker, pre-load and surgical tubing syle. Mecanum drive system. possible pneaumatic shocks for bump travel. no hanging device. we can probably drive up someones ramp if there is a team like that here.

Current issue with our program: (mecanum wheels and pneumatics)

We can either get the standar arcade turn or we get forward,back,strafe and thats it. never both at the same time. What we would like is two joysticks, joystick1 is forward,back,rotate(arcade style) joystick 2 is strafe on the X-Axis and possible forward back. Anyone else doing this? we are killing ourselves on it and we cant figure out how to have two joystics for one drive either.
Next, pneumatics. we are using old festo single action cylinders. Our goal was Trigger would run two cylinders on a timing system. but now i think it would be best to do Trigger(joystick3) fires solenoid one Button 3(joystick3) fires solenoid two.

Can't wait to see you all there on thursday. I'll be sure to stop at team 1716's pits and talk to you guys and probably praise your programmers for any help they can provide.
