Team 5406 – Celt-X, is proud to present our 2023 robot “Edwin”. We’ll be competing at the Western University District Event, the McMaster University District Event and (if we qualify), the Ontario Provincial Championship, and the Houston World Championship. A major thank you to our sponsors for making this robot possible.
Machine Learning implementation for recognizing and locating game pieces during the bump-side auto. Look for our presentation on this technology at FRC Warm Up 2024.
Error checking routines to set, check, and reset if necessary every time a parameter is stored on a Spark Max with burnflash(). For a cleaner version of this, please see the wrapper library implemented in the code for our Off Season Robot “Q-Bert”.
Feel free to copy and remix anything you find interesting. We’re happy to answer any questions people may have. Good luck to all teams in 2024!
I love the idea of the lift kit but it gives me pause from a durability standpoint. Did you run your lift kits all season? What kind of wear and deformation did they show? Did you ever have to service them during a competition? Did you notice any weird driveability issues after a big collision?
We ran the stilts all season and for 3 off-season events (nearly 100 matches plus practice) and didn’t notice any wear after installation. That’s not a guarantee that they will work flawlessly for everyone - they take some reasonably precise lathe work to make sure the shaft doesn’t have any play in the bearings.
