Re: Programmers: I Have A Challenge For You
Not in response to any particular post, I love that this is being discussed.
I really hope FIRST will find a way to design next year's game such that clever software will stand a chance to share the limelight with clever mechanical systems. I know some teams (1629 included) used software to _assist_ with goal scoring. That is, the robot (under operator control) never decided to go for a goal. Instead, the robot took a command to kick the ball and attempted to do a little fine-tuning on the aim -- using the camera; but this is a baby step. Think about implementing "situational awareness" in software: What does my universe (the field) look like? How big is it and where are the fixed objects? Where am I within my universe and which way am I facing? Where are my friends and where are my foes? These are robot smarts that should prove valuable to you next year, no matter what the game is. |
