Behind the Bumpers | 1690 Orbit | Charged Up Robot - YouTube One of the most inspirational and innovative teams in FRC 1690 Orbit brings so much to the table. Incredible automation, custom dashboard, vision and positional systems, game piece detection, mechanical manipulation and custom swerve.
I never thought id see the day a team puts regenerative braking on a robot
That is so crazy, 1690 always innovating and thinking out of the box
the funny thing is that we did not put anything 
it was just to synchronize the intake (now shooting) wheels with the swerve driving motors - the robot stops before hitting the ramp and at the same time accelerates the shooting wheels. When stopping, the bus voltage goes up to ~14 volts, which is just what was needed to reach the lower nodes from behind the ramp (for our not-planned-for-shooting-that-far intake), and it was easier to sync than change mechanics
