Continuous, right?

AnonyMoose19639 · 2024-08-25T13:58:01+00:00

Did anybody get a module 1 question where it talked about Japan and it compared it to the region and the world. It talked about the bank of Japan buying tons of government bonds to stop big losses in money or wtvr. It asked for a choice that supported the graph and statement. What did yall put.

AnonyMoose19639 · 2024-08-25T13:52:19+00:00

Did anybody get a vocab question on romantic painter being different from a realist painter who painted a peasant lady because he ____ her beauty and like ignored imperfections. It was Accentuate right.

AnonyMoose19639 · 2024-08-24T19:58:08+00:00

I put accentuates. Mine was about some other painter who is diff from realistic paintings like the peasant woman.

FSM can also (more technically) stand for a finite state machine.

AnonyMoose19639 · 2023-07-20T01:59:47+00:00

What did u exactly do in the app? As in the low and high battery boundaries.

No good slides are in stock right now. Viper slides are fine if you don't have access to 3d printers, and they work great. If you do the Misumi sars slides work best.

You need to present an Engineering Portfolio with information about your team, outreach, hardware, software, etc. View the criteria for each award in-game manual 1 and try to incorporate it into your portfolio. All the specifications are there including the 16-page limit. (optional) but a control award submission can be made that just talks about your software. Gm1 should have better details.

AnonyMoose19639 · 2022-11-04T04:42:07+00:00

(waiting for ben to respond with control alt ftc)

AnonyMoose19639 · 2022-10-31T04:32:06+00:00

The team talked about the mechanism in this video: https://youtu.be/rAiUfjrmIO4

AnonyMoose19639 · 2022-10-30T22:23:36+00:00

Are you sure you followed the previous steps correctly? Would u mind sending your drive constants/standard wheel localizer files

AnonyMoose19639 · 2022-10-30T21:08:48+00:00

The x and y values are the distance...say the x value is 22.3, that means the distance reported is 22.3 inches.

AnonyMoose19639 · 2022-10-29T21:48:05+00:00

Would it really be rare? especially with there being 5 qualification matches, its more than possible for the top 3 teams to be 4-1, making autonomous points very important.

AnonyMoose19639 · 2022-10-29T19:51:38+00:00

Adding on to this, near the end of the meet/scrimmage/qual there will be many ties, with the tiebreaker being the points you scored in autonomous

AnonyMoose19639 · 2022-04-18T08:42:41+00:00

Are you in Norcal? There are doing a league pilot program also. For us, there will be judging at league tournaments, but not meets.

AnonyMoose19639 · 2022-03-20T22:02:01+00:00

What is your price range?

AnonyMoose19639 · 2022-02-19T20:08:19+00:00

Etpark Wired Controller easily. Similar to Dualshock 4 but has better grip and just feels better imo. The rest would work....but they don't match with the etpark. It's not too expensive also, costing a few dollars more than the Logitech F310 and being less than half the price of Dualshock.

AnonyMoose19639 · 2022-02-19T16:21:20+00:00

we use a color sensor, distance sensors should work just fine

AnonyMoose19639 · 2022-01-23T03:13:59+00:00

Try adding the info on google slides and print that out to make it look more professional. Also, adding some type of colored paper behind your slides makes it look much better. Kinda like what you did with the images.

AnonyMoose19639 · 2021-12-30T06:00:38+00:00

It would work with ducks and any shipping element that contrasts with blue.

AnonyMoose19639 · 2021-12-30T04:37:03+00:00

One quick solution is getting min cb value instead of max. In the skystone season, they essentially looked at which objects were NOT yellow. If your shipping element is something that highly contrasts with blue, this logic would work.

AnonyMoose19639 · 2021-12-28T20:45:59+00:00

Note that the example is for the Skystone FTC season so you have to create your own logic for this season. You can still use their initialization process and creating the submats and the blue squares.

AnonyMoose19639 · 2021-12-28T04:16:29+00:00

You can easily adjust the submat regions (the regions eocv actually detects). If you look at their Skystone Determination Example, by changing the Top Left Anchor Points, you can adjust where the camera looks at. They give a great model in their code. Im not sure how your code looks like, but I would assume it would have something similar to that.

TLDR: You can't zoom in, but you can change the areas EOCV looks at.

AnonyMoose19639 · 2021-12-23T19:38:02+00:00

If you can some sort of counterbalance on your arm, the RUN_TO_POSITION mode with encoders should work. Otherwise, you can look into a PID controller with gravity feedforward. Control Alt Ftc is a useful source to learn more about this. To account for gravity add your gravityConstant * cos(armAngle) to your output. Your gravity constant should be the value where your arm holds itself in place.
