USFIRST Simulator 2004 (Play the playingfield in 3d)

[Joe Ross]

One of the engineers on 330 has been bugging me for years to write a program like this. Maybe now he can stop bugging me

Or maybe I should stop bugging him about mechanical designs to get him to stop bugging me about programs.

Anyway, next release a little bit later today...got nothin left to do but tech stuff at HS, I'll find some time.

Man the 'bit later' TODAY is gone... , when is the new release going to be up ? , good work on the first one anyway ! .

Sorry for the delay in the next release of the sim, I had thought it was monday and it was really tuesday and robotics ended earlier so I had a bit of free time that I really felt like spending /w sarah (u figure it out)
Anywho, got home late fell asleep woke up went to school fixed network issues and now I get to go back to work on it ;p
next release coming soon
to be expected:
:::::drive mode selection::::::
--Tank
--Swerve
:::::Bot features:::::
--telescoping poll for grabbing the chin-up bar
:::::misc:::::
faster physics
corrected field layout
all small balls are clickable

[NullTerminator]

Just a reminder: the poles of the goals can be passed right thru .. are u going to fix that so we can try to get some balls in

[Tom Bottiglieri]

I would really like to see this pushed into a full production FIRST game. I think it woudl be mad shnazzy to have all the years different games and be able to play against different robots from different years (...say... rage from 2002 maybe? ) Just an idea tho

[NullTerminator]

I tink we are thinkin to far already.. let the guy finish this years game first ...then he can think about a mega project for all the year's games . Maybe we can pursuade some video game company to make one lol .

*Anxious for the new release*

[FONT=Arial]Despite being the first version, this program has some useful concepts. I cannot wait until the final version is released. This way, we can practice with our allies without them really having to be there. It also will allow us to call the balls' moves to some degree.

Hope it's finished soon, ASAP [/font]

Hi! This is my first post. Great program. I had lots of fun w/it. I was wondering, you have said several times that the new sim release would be out in a few days and it isn't! I'm sorry. I probably just couldn't find it. if you did release it, please tell me where it is!!

[Beausif]

I agree with everyone else this is great.
The only problem is when im in class and should be doing work but instead playing this. Goodjob

It is really fun to fly your robot off the screen and then try to get it back by just imagining where it would be if your screen was larger. It is also fun to start in the center of the field, spin really fast, then lift off straight up while still spinning, and then waiting for it to come back down.

EDIT: I flipped a goal!

Well...i really truly honestly don´t mean to be obnoxious, but i´m gonna give up waiting for the 2.0 version of this simulator...taking too long, if you ask me! If its finished only after the competition it wont be as fun, u know???

However, I congratulate you for your efforts...it (the simulator) really turned out awesome!!! And good luck to your team...!!! -Im being too harsh, you probably have your own robot to deal with huh & school too i suppose

L8R...dont 4get 2 visit R website!

All you have to do is push the "Prt Scr/Sys Rq" button then paste the picture into paint.
