It is possible to gain additional resolution from an A/D converter thanks to the noise inherent in the signal. This paper explains how this happens, as well as how to use this to your advantage.
Application provides bi-directional interface to control the 2004 EDU robot controller from a PC. GUI has 4 joysticks. Sends 8 control bytes and recieves 14 feedback bytes. Setup package includes .hex file with mods needed to work with this application as well as the source "user_routines.c&quo...
Created by my dad, this is a powerpoint of a presentation for the FIRST Workshops at VCU on October 25th. This is a VERY good PPT, well worth the download.
Our Northrop Robotics' Engineer and his fellow mentors are teaching this course each Sunday, open to FIRST teams.
"This document is written to accompany a course of instruction in robotics fundamentals for high school students participating in a competitive robotics team. Our intent in prepa...
This is a slide presentation il use to get my team breifed and motivated. and adress the things that need to be done before the robot rodeo, and it has lots of pictures to keep them intrested
Here is an entire print package for what we TechnoKats call a "trick wheel". We don't claim to have the very first one of these, but we did have a version of this wheel on our 1998 robot. Mark Koors, TechnoKat engineer extra-ordinare, is the idea-man and designer of these wheels (he is a...
Ok, It's a DOS prog, I'll get that out of the way.
Basically, this lets you see what kind of input you'll get for a crab drive, particularly my multi-drive, as I've explained in quite a few threads. This demo will be updated, this is phase 1. The 2 most obvious problems are:
- Ranges 127 to 90 rep...
Ever wonder why your four-wheel-drive system won't turn? You'll never need to wonder again. Drive Train Basics gives a full explaination, complete with mathematical equations, to allow you to design a drive train that will turn without a problem.

I have added more STAMP usage (AKA: As far as I know, you can now use BS2, BS2p, BS2p40, etc...). This (as all others) has not been fully tested, so I cannot say for sure if it works.
Four years ago, Westside Boiler Invasion was started by students who were on FIRST teams in high school. We have developed into a strong team and have discovered how awesome starting a team is. Because of this, it has become part of team 461's mission to help start other college-supported FIRST team...
Enclosed are our updated designs for a dual-motor, dual-speed robot transmission system, as developed by Team Epsilon Delta (Team 116). After examining a few successful gear-shifting transmission designs during the 2002 FIRST Robotics Competition, we decided to implement this capability for our robo...
