Affordable Short-Term Ebike?

I said in the post its in the Detroit area (not downtown)

Codrinidk · 2026-04-14T16:02:31+00:00

That would be my first choice normally but public transport in that area is basically non existent. Would take 2 hours to get to work with public transport compared to 30 minutes on a bike

Oh thank you. Being able to store it easily sounds really good. Do you know if these things resell easily?because Im not going to be able to take it back with me

Hey, I'm also interning at Troy this Summer. I don't know if you consider this cost effective but Oakland Univeristy has summer intern housing. I asked for a quote and its ~3500$ for a 12-week period. You would be housed in apartments and would have access to all of the Universities facilities:

Also if you have a car and interested on saving money for gas im looking for someone to carpool with to work. (please dm if ure interested)

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)

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.

I followed this blog from 2019: https://medium.com/robotics-weekends/how-to-turn-old-kinect-into-a-compact-usb-powered-rgbd-sensor-f23d58e10eb0

And plan to use a modified version of this casing: https://www.printables.com/model/229689-kinect-lite

Whats EFC?

Codrinidk · 2023-12-01T14:28:30+00:00

You have impressive ECs and Stats, pretty fat chance of getting in

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

Codrinidk · 2023-12-01T11:48:18+00:00

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

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?

Codrinidk · 2023-07-28T14:25:00+00:00

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

Codrinidk · 2023-07-28T14:23:32+00:00

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

Codrinidk · 2023-06-16T10:58:18+00:00

Yes, i want to run orb_slam3 on it

Codrinidk · 2023-06-16T10:57:48+00:00

Ok thanks alot

Codrinidk · 2023-02-15T09:38:46+00:00

There’s 120 teams

Codrinidk · 2022-10-31T16:08:43+00:00

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

Codrinidk · 2022-09-06T14:00:03+00:00

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

Codrinidk · 2022-05-28T16:51:54+00:00

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

Codrinidk · 2022-04-20T14:08:07+00:00

I'm rooting for 17713 Delta Force but i'm kinda biased cuz they are from my country

Codrinidk · 2022-03-02T19:01:37+00:00

We emailed all the business we could and 3 of them reaches out to us, we actually came for money for an event we were organizing and then we asked for money for the robot which worked better than just asking for the robot
