This is a basic letter for teams looking to receive financial assistance. It is intended as a platform for you to build off of. Just a starting idea. Customize it to suit your own team's needs.
Enclosed are our 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 add this capability to the dual-motor (single...
Well, I finally got the chance to finish this and it's only two weeks later than I originally promised! In any event, RoboIDE is a Gnome/GTK+ (Linux) PBASIC IDE that uses the Tokenizer from Parallax, inc. It currently supports (I think) all eight slots and every command you can imagine.
Well, I just finished porting the 12,000+ lines of RoboEmu over to Linux (only about 4000 actually had to be changed) and I think it actually turned out to be better than the Windows version.
Anyway, download this file, ungzip/untar it (tar -xzvf) and look at the file INSTALL for the full install...
Written in a couple of hours using LabView 6.1, this shows what can be done very quickly with LabView from National Instruments (www.ni.com). It would take quite a bit longer in VB or VC++, plus this will also run under Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris (Sun).
It took some work, but here it is. RoboCon is, technically, just a dll and import library that will allow you to communicate directly with the RC using your computers serial port. Why would you want to do this? Because it means you can do all kinds of fun processing on you PC, such as voice-activ...
This zip file contains all the information about the 2002 ThunderChickens CCT. It contains a Word document describing the theory and math, an Excel document with the Bill of Materials, AutoCad 2000 drawings, a STEP solid model of the assembly, SolidWorks 2001Plus native solid models, assemblies, an...
After numerous requests for help in the programming forum, here it is. This white paper covers everything you need to read from a serial port in Windows. Hopefully, this should help in writing a dashboard viewer or other feedback program.
