971's Control System

[billbo911]

In March I had the pleasure of being a Robot Inspector at the Sacramento Regional. One of the Robots I had the pleasure of inspecting was 971's Mammoth!

Let's just say, they do things a bit differently than your standard robot when it comes to their control of the robot. Sure, they have the requisite cRIO, DSC, PDB, radio etc. but that's where it ends. They also have custom built circuit boards, custom sensors that you can now buy, and I believe offboard processor(s) just to name a few.

I'm inviting Austin Schuh, and anyone else associated with 971, to "open the Kimono" a little and let the rest of CD learn from their innovative approach to controlling a robot.
