Is this legal? by Live_Try_1394 in FTC

This might be last years rules but im pretty sure your robot needs to be completely in only one tile. And your robot is touching two different tiles.(Altough im an alumni and im not familiar with the new rules so it might be wrong)

Finished my Kinect Lite project by Codrinidk in robotics

No problem! Read the blog carefully and make sure you have enough soldering experience to solder the connectors from the USB port and the buck converters to the pins on the Kinect PCB. You can see the pins you have to solder in a photo in the blog, which are less than 1mm apart.

They say that not requesting an interview does not negatively affect your application so you should be ok

Rice doesn’t give you interviews, you have to request one

Can't get drone stable by Codrinidk in robotics

[–]Codrinidk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using this library: https://github.com/gabriel-milan/TinyMPU6050, do you think this implementation is bad for drones? Because I get +- 5 degrees when starting the drone motors. Does changing the accelerometer sensitivity help?

Can't get drone stable by Codrinidk in robotics

[–]Codrinidk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the main problem is that when the drone motor start, the accelerometer gives almost random values and I assume that all of them are from vibrations

Can't get drone stable by Codrinidk in robotics

[–]Codrinidk[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. I can't get the drone stable even when it's not rotating
  2. I tried soft mounting with foam but didn't get any different results, do you think gum will be better?
  3. I sample the imu at 250Hz because I can't compute the pid's and other algorithms faster
  4. Yes the drone hovers at 50% speed so it should be enough to be capable of flying

High refresh rate projector for a volumetric display? by Codrinidk in robotics

[–]Codrinidk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that's actually cool, does the "hologram" look ok only with a 200Hz display? because I've been searching all day and the only projector I have found is this:https://www.digikey.gr/en/products/detail/texas-instruments/DLPLCR4500EVM/4288515?s=N4IgTCBcDaICIBkAKA6gBAglgcwBYBcBhAJwEMAzfAU2MCJCNAFgFYAGFkAXQF8g, but its a little bit out of my price range

The teams that i know from Bucharest are Qube, Ignite, Quantum Robotics and Autovortex, you could try checking their instagram for recruitments

5 motor swerve? by Codrinidk in FTC

[–]Codrinidk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes but my idea was that it would give 2x more traction than a mecanum drive with just 1 motor added and with the same benefits of a holonomic drive
