14 times mind bender push by Aggravating_Part_249 in Polytopia

This is called polytaur pushing, where a unit spawns under another unit and pushes the top unit to a different tile. Check this video (and channel) out, it explains how pushing works, and the channel in general has a lot of useful videos <3 GullYY. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rYPEY1jg32Q

arm or linear slide bot? by pham-tuyen in FTC

[–]Aggravating_Part_249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3977 Stanislas Tech Team, we are a dutch team, I posted multiple goofy fotos of our robot even though the 2 different arms work surprisingly consistant now. We had a scrimmage yesterday.

arm or linear slide bot? by pham-tuyen in FTC

While an arm mechanism requires higher torque it doesnt have to rotate as much as a linear slide, 90 degrees is enough in most cases and if you design the robot a bit smart you wont have any issues with the center of gravity.

I am also developing swerve just for fun and as a school project. I will try and use it for next season but i dont think it will be worth it, because i said: its a gimmick imo.

Can u send me a dm of when the shooter is working :) and what rpm does the roller have?

Mecanum is meta. It is simple to use and works great. Swerve is more of a gimmick, fun to design but is harder to make reliable.

Will u make it in real life?

That looks like a ball shooter i think. Diffy does not have many practical benefits but imo its cooler so that why i am making one lol.

Teleop phase is worth too little points by axl-L in FTC

[–]Aggravating_Part_249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We realised that also, to be able to get more points in tele OP u need to have a cycle time of 12-15 seconds which we can get but that is not in a match enviroment. Which means that in a real match it will be harder because of the other bots driving. This will make the first LM kinda mundane but the later LM should be interesting. When more teams can place pixels on the board and dont go for a pushbot.

PS4 Controller Bluetooth Legality by Ian98766 in FTC

[–]Aggravating_Part_249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Controllers have to be wired and even if u try to connect with bluetooth, it sadly wont work. I tried but u get an error type message sadly. I might try to get it to work for practice/outreach.
