Re: A few last minute questions

the mobile goal is in the center of the field, and the dimesions of the field are in the manual - Im pretty sure its 48 feet long

there are two pressure switches - one is digital On/Off and has two screws for wires, and one is analog and has three wires - check the robot section of the manual for the proper way to connect them - the digital one goes to the digital inputs on the RC - you will have to sacrifice a pwm cable to connect it to the digital inputs, or buy the right connector and use the small gauge (grey) two wire cable that came in the kit of parts (KOP)

there is an input and a relay output already configured in the default code to run the relay (compressor) until the digital sensor detects high pressure, then turn the compressor off until the pressure drops below its lower trip point.

the default code is described in detail in the users guide in the documents section of innovationfirst.com.

I know everyone is in crunch mode right now - when you get a chance go through those documents - if you are working on the RC you will really want to know them inside out when you get to the regionals and something is not exactly right with your machine :c)
