Autonomous issue NJ

Sorry, but this post is going to sound rediclous, im crossing over from the mechanical aspect of life. We are having coding issues. We know what we want to do in autonomous, but have no clue how to do it...

We want to use the camera, to find the vision tetra, extent the arm (2 joints) pick it up and stack it, or come close enough to save time in the controlled period. We also would like to be able to knock the hanging tetra down, (the question there is; are the hanging tetras green?(pannels))

Also we would like to be able to hit a button on one of the 3 joysticks and have the bot take over and go to the red loading zone for example. I read somewhere that this is pre coded, but i have not the foggiest where and how to re define it to stick 3.


Is there going to be anyone at the NJ regional who can help us out. Accomplishing just one of these tasks would help alot. Either that, or is there anyone willing to come out to warren hills NJ and help out this weekend?


Any help is grealty appreciated


Thanks

Marcus

feel free to yell at me if that is totally outrageous


BTW i dont know C, i know Java, its basically like speaking fluent spanish in Japan, ITS TOTALLY USELESS

Re: Autonomous issue NJ

I am not a programmer but i can tell you that the hanging tetras do not have anything different about them color wise then the other tetras, except the vision tetras on the field.

Re: Autonomous issue NJ

I am also not a programmer, but I believe I can fill in some of the information for you. Firstly, the hanging tetras do not have the green vision panels. Secondly, if you want your robot to find a loading zone, I would assume you would use the same find color function as when finding a vision tetra, but (if it's possible), to look for the two color blobs that have x distance in between them (the two loading zones). This would decrease the chance of it heading elsewhere, (and a gyro + shaft encoder on your wheels could approx. the location with some trig functions), but keep in mind, this is just supposition. Also, I'd suspect that if you did this in the above manner, your code would be overly cumbersome and probably fill up way too much room on the RC. I am sure that there are no vision panels on the hanging tetras though. Hope this helped.
