Ideas for the summer

[Alan Anderson]

Design and build a robot cart, or even an entire pit.

Make a t-shirt-cannon robot.

Come up with an effective and organized way to bring your stuff to competitions.

Do a robotic aluminum can crusher and encourage people to recycle.

I'm going to have to disagree with this one. Return those cans to the store and raise money for your team. Working towards St. Louis $.10 at a time...

That's not an option for the original poster. Virginia doesn't have beverage container deposits. Michigan is the only state with a ten-cent deposit on soft drink cans (though California could change that at any time).

Team 316 is working on designing a gyro stabilization driving chasis. We are using LabView. Any code, algorithms, ides, etc. would be of great assitance! Thanks!

Hmm. We made one 2008 for labview. If we still have it I'd be happy to send it to you, but i think it was only for mecanum, but I'll look at it next time i have access to the school's computer.

If you had the starter code from last year working, that is a reasonable starting point.
You could then change the set point to be controlled by something other than the camera, to be active even when the stick button is not pressed, and to add the steering correction to the joystick values. You may also need to describe the type of steering your robot has.
