Are other teams using the Easy Button on their control board? We plan on using it for our shooter mechanism. As a bonus, it’s been wired up to retain the “That Was Easy!” sound.
Sorry, but we were unable to get any video before the robot got in the crate. Enjoy some pictures!
If you were using the easy button to it’s full potential, then there would be no need to place it on your control board. You could just press it before you cart your robot onto your field.
We had thought about it last year for our controller to deploy our ramps but then decided against it because we did not think that the button would hold up throughout the competition and repeated use. Good luck with it though.
That’s a really cool idea. The Easy Button requires quite a bit of pressure to be activated though (at least it seems like it, for a simple little button).
we have it on our board to control firing, and it still says that was easy, to wire it all you have to do is solder one lead into one end of the switch and another in the other end, its uber easy.
