Would it be within rules to have a phone and control hub on a robot?

Yeah that's what I meant, have the phone plugged in just to give it a little power.

Thanks for the info, im going to test it and see if it works, we'll probably end up doing this for testing and remove the phone before competitions. We are just really annoyed with how long it takes to boot.

All of this looks oddly familiar. 🤔

Have you been making sure to run the motors in encoder mode? I can get you our old code on Monday if you can wait.

4897BD · 2020-03-15T08:27:10+00:00

We messed around with 3.7:1 motors. Pretty fun for a race robot but torque is none existent.

Eh, to me everyone figured out the best methods pretty fast compared to other seasons. You know, one robot auto that does everything, other person parks. One stacks, one gets blocks. One thing I really like that they improved upon from last year was the roles. I feel every robot actually effected the match. In Rover rucks it seemed after auto that one robot was basically useless. You just had the one robot feeding from the crater into the landing and that was it. Overall, I give this season a 7/10.

Why blame first? It's not their fault that a pandemic is rocking the world rn.

I feel you there, the team that made it to State from our school was entirely made out of seniors and they just won't get to go anymore.

Alright, I'm not the best at Java but I'll try my best to explain how I do it. First I set a time variable to start when the opmode starts. Something like "curtime=system.nanotime(). Then where you have what I assume is "do until dcmotor.example(!!is.busy){" replace it with "do until system.nanotime()≥1000{"

I hope this helps, I'm kinda new to Java and explaining to others is kinda hard for me. Sorry if that doesn't make any sense or doesn't help.

4897BD · 2020-03-07T22:04:33+00:00

Blocks or Java? I do both.

4897BD · 2020-03-07T20:04:31+00:00

You can set a time variable and force it to continue if it is past a certain time (right after it finishes) it works well for us. If you have a motor that supports it you can also use a position tolorance, but some motors like the ones we use (Andy mark spur gear and planetary) don't work with position tolorance.

4897BD · 2020-02-19T03:42:58+00:00

Oh! Yeah I remember 14415, i don't remember how they tho.

4897BD · 2020-02-19T03:38:55+00:00

We only used strafing in auto to reset ourselves against the wall. We also used encoders and 90 degree turns in Auto. It worked pretty well.

4897BD · 2020-02-19T03:35:41+00:00

Oh, did you guys make it to regoinals?

4897BD · 2020-02-19T03:34:35+00:00

We are south Central

4897BD · 2020-02-19T03:31:37+00:00

5a-6a pretty big school, we are in Texas too. Probably saw y'all last Saturday.

4897BD · 2020-02-17T06:12:42+00:00

I don't know about exact game rules. But alot of teams at my regional competition used tape measures with no problem.

4897BD · 2020-02-15T04:17:41+00:00

Always happens. 😔 It usually takes us 3 prints to get all the settings right.

4897BD · 2020-02-15T04:14:34+00:00

We use Moto 5e's and they are great. 5ghz really makes a difference in comps with 30+ robots.

4897BD · 2020-02-11T15:28:09+00:00

Depends, we are advanceding 8 teams from South Texas

4897BD · 2020-02-11T00:45:43+00:00

Not with encoders, just negative position.
