HUD on Safty Glasses

[Leav]

Al, Thanks!
I think they are clear enough that a Q&A entry would be unneccesary.

Again, thanks for the fast reply!

Just out of curiosity, what are you planning on putting on the HUD?

For our driver: ball possession indicators.
For our operator: kicker strength indicator (we have it on the laptop screen obviously, but thought a HUD would be better since he wouldn't have to look down - the whole purpose for HUDs in the first place..)

They are not critical, since they have been driving great without them, but we had some down time and thought we'd go for it. we're not even sure they'd like driving with it yet and may scrap the whole system during the practice rounds! (use regular safty glasses and store the HUD for the offseason)

If I remember i'll try and report back to this thread with the results. in the meantime here's a picture of the kids with the HUD on...

This year, we did something almost identical to this and never had any problems with it. At the start of the match we hold the ethernet plug in our hands and when we step up to the drivers station at the end of autonomous we plug it in.

Our HUD was designed to help line up shots using camera tracking. It consits of 3 sets of LED lights. On the left and right sides, we have red lights to indicate the direction of the target. Near the middle we have two green lights to indicate when the robot is lined up straight with the target.

In 2007 we had a similar setup and what we did was the operator would quickly switch safety glasses after autonomous ended. Not very convenient, but it worked.
