[SCRRF]: Chatsworth Fall Classic Question

[SpaceOsc]

hmmm im not sure about this yet but id rather know now than later, team 702 might show up at the fall classic but our 2004 robot isnt our favorite by any means. functional but not worth the trouble of hauling it around.

were planning on making a Practice robot, just to teach the new kids how to do things, we were planning on making it to specs for the 2004 game or maybe a previous year, i was wondering if we were to complete a competing robot by chatsworth would the Scrrf or Chatsworth allow for us to play with the practice robot at the event agsint all the other 2004 robots? , it would be totally up to specs with the FIRST rules, just build at a different time.


Just want to make the members motivated and moving towards a goal of seeing there robot run.


Thanks in Advance

That's a very good question. I'd sure like to know too because we have two robots in the works. (Not designed for FIRST Frenzy) but at least maybe we could run 'em a little. Or, howabout the return of Heather, our 2003 robot? Oh, yes, you know her. Heather was one bad girl. Bright pink and green flags, pink bumpers, absolutely terroizing the Stack Attack field, yep, that's the one. Just wait until she gets her hands on FIRST Frenzy. It will be more like FIRST, run for your lives then Frenzy. hehehe

Okay.. I have no authority whatsoever on this .... so I won't say a thing

I'd like to add another question to this, though. Our team's OI (the one that you plug the joysticks into.. UI, right? Haha, I think that's it.. it's been too long of a summer without using those terms (edit: err ... UI => OI)) is really messed up and works only off and on.. we've tried to fix it numerous times, but.. yeah, it doesn't get any better.

This is one of the reasons (if not the only one?) we're probably not going to the Chatsworth Fall Classic.. BUT. This is my question:

Would there be any "extra" OI or anything at Chatsworth? Just something we could borrow and use at least during the games? I sort of doubt it, but it can't hurt to ask, right?

I'd personally love if we could attend, but.. with a constantly malfunctioning OI, it doesn't seem worth it. Plus, it'd mess up the games we play in and everything (we lost a couple of matches at Regionals simply because our OI screwed up on us in the middle of the game). So.. yep.

And if I wasn't supposed to ask this under this thread (and this isn't directed at you, SpaceOsc .. rather, at anyone who'd know the answer to the question), I'm sorry. I just figured - hey, a thread with a question on the Chatsworth Fall Classic.. it should be okay to add another one to it!

Again, apologies if I shouldn't have done this!

(edit) OOPS.. so I DID get it wrong! It's OI, not UI .. everything's changed accordingly. Thanks SpaceOsc!

I would say yes, but would rather Wendy Wooten gave the final answer. I'll let you know what she says.

[quote=n0cturnalxb]though. Our team's UI (the one that you plug the joysticks into.. UI, right? Haha, I think that's it.. it's been too long of a summer without using those terms ) [quote]

but its OI - Operator Interface

OOPS - yeah. I thought it looked kind of funny but couldn't think of the right one. Haha.. this is what happens with Robotics withdrawal

Thanks!

Heather was great, and I have a piece of her foam in my room somewhere. Anyways, I wouldn't call it cheated (team 294 was a part of that match), because the rule interpretation was valid (although it kept us from going to nationals) and the referees interpretation is final. Anyways, I hope everyone has a good time at the fall classic.

Indeed. We plan on having a faster turnaround time for each match. Stop by and say hi to me, I'll be announcing and wearing my trusty ChiefD badge

There is no problem what so ever with bringing a new robot that uses the FIRST rules. We are actually doing that too. We are making a robot to test a new gearbox and we will be using that at the comp.

I saw Wendy at WESCON yesterday, Mark wasn't there. I asked her. She said to come, and hopefully someone will have an extra one, or borrowing one for your match can be worked out.
