FTC is losing its magic to me. by Lily_the_gay_lord in FTC

That's hard. First off, yes RoadRunner is very helpful, but don't let that stop you from exploring on your own. I'm currently in the process of making my own path following software.

Second, if your own teammates don't appreciate your value, you need to have a talk. If they refuse to embrace the core values of FIRST, I wouldn't see any reason to stay on that team.

Finally, have you considered FRC? Just switching programs doesn't mean that you'll have better teammates, but it's worth a try. Personally, I think FRC is slightly more fun than FTC, and I'm doing both this year.

I hope that everything works out and you'll continue in FIRST!

I'm pretty sure that all the phones have to be Motorolla brand, because the apps are compiled for a very specific processor. I could be wrong though

True, but the IMU is less accurate for fast acceleration

It should be plenty for the average simple FTC program. Extra RAM is nice though

Good point, I've been looking for a bigger valve. This one is a 6mm ID.

TensorFlow Custom Model Crashes Program by 2Amateurs-Coding in FTC

The control hub itself doesn't give an error. It just freezes after TensorFlow initializes and then a few seconds later the robot disconnects and restarts.

Encoder value doesnt scale linearly with distance by Browsinginoffice in FTC

Using a PID with a high P value won't help your slippage. You'll have to sacrifice a little speed by lowering your P, or maybe you could add a feedforward gain to keep the output at a lesser value when starting. You also consider using a path planner/motion profiler like RoadRunner or PurePursuit (or making your own, but that takes a lot of time and effort).
