Well, we ARE done, in that we've put out our reveal video (
watch it here) but we are not done in that we are still planning to put out more how to videos, CAD data drop, CODE drops, improve the performance,... Stay tuned...
If you watch our reveal video: caution I have to speak fast to get in all the cool features of this robot.
Highlights of our robot:
- A robot that (I believe) could pass inspection at a FIRST Competition (only known violations I am aware of is that we didn't build a red bumper and I forgot to order one of those indicator lights that are required on every robot)
- Catapult. Motor powered, HIGH Release (a.k.a it can shoot over robots trying to push you away from the goals) with programmable range. We can vary release speed & release angle. Two distances are programmed now. More are just a matter of time and tuning.
- Vision system (working! really, working in 3 days!) to do a killer autonomous (using RoboRealm + camera to sense hot goal and provide range to goal).
- Acoustic Range To Target (again, also done in 3 days. We had not even touched the sensor until kickoff, Scout's honor).
- LARGE 3 Digit ON ROBOT display which (currently) lets us show time left in match and distance to goal wall, but it can be used for many more purposes (e.g, motor current or battery voltage). Being on the robot gives the drivers useful info while keeping their eyes where they belong (again, none of this was done before kickoff)
In short, I think BOOM DONE. has earned your vote as the best Ri3D Team & Robot.
If you agree, please,
vote BOOM DONE. ... NOW

I'd like to think FIRST hasn't completely transformed into a money hungry self serving corporation. I'd like to think they actually still think they care about us. - Koko Ed [more]
