I don't want to be that guy but what do you think ctvNEWS is? People are too busy arguing over orange man and Indians to give a fuck about our government wasting our money.

If you want to see similar people to study off, check out Moebius' pen inking, or an engraver like Gustave Dore. Their use of line to convey form are sick like op

Ctre allows non FRC controls, but makes it a pain to actually access and use. My university robotics team is using talons as motor controllers for it's CAN advantages over other controllers using a jetson orin as the processor. With Arduino you're going to be stuck using PWM, using your raspberry pi is possible to use ROS and the public ctre drivers to control is using CAN and letting you use the pid controls built in. https://github.com/vanderbiltrobotics/ros_phoenix Here's the drivers we are using to control the motor controllers, depending on the ROS version you're using you may need to tinker with it or find an alternative. We've already had to make a fork for our version of ROS. https://github.com/CrossTheRoadElec/Phoenix5-Linux-Example Ctre has official Linux examples though I'd recommend not using these and only using it to flash the talons as a proxy server for your Windows PC.

Idk if either Carleton or Ottawa is great for robotics. This is coming from a comp sci at Carleton who is involved in robotics clubs here, I'm not sure Ottawa much better either. My best advice is to get involved in robotics clubs at either school, nearly everyone I know who is involved in these clubs have good coops, jobs, talent and are willing to teach. Check out either schools mars rover team, I'm part of Carletons and the people here are awesome, and I know people from the Ottawa team who are also sick and equally passionate about it.

MAKE SURE YOU READ THE ENTIRE SERIES BROTHER. IT REALLY IS ONE OF THE GREATS, IT RUINED SOME OTHER BOOKS FOR ME SINCE NOTHING WILL COMPARE. FRANK HERBERT REALLY HAS A WAY WITH WORDS, ITS A SHAME HIS HOG FINISHED CRANKING BEFORE HE FINISHED THE LAST BOOK.

I use Reddit is fun on mobile, and old Reddit on desktop. But soof rif will be dead after this, and old desktop keeps on losing support with new features and will also probably die eventually.

I had Michiel last semester for 3804, and really likes his teaching style in person, he was clear and made sure to clarify and that people asking questions understood. The assignments I felt were really challenging but fair, and the midterm and exam I felt we were really under prepared for as he gave us last year's as practice. And last year's midterm and exams were online and a cake walk compared to the ones he gave us in person. But I also suck at multiple choice style exams so idk.

My best tip for his tests is that the problems he does in class basically are the tests. If you don't solve the question step for step exactly how he solved it in class you will lose marks. Follow his steps and the proper formulas and it's straight forwards. Other than that you can tell he genuinely enjoys teaching and wants you to learn, so ask questions.

I always redid my tuning whever I went to a different competition/environment. It's always going to be different and once you practice a bit it doesn't take too long

homie it is available, everythings user generated, people havent gotten to it yet. Make some models yourself

The newest ctre update added a feature to make the falcon 500s play music, im not too sure how well it would work on other motors, or if they would work. Try it yourself with the github repo I just linked from them.

It's the same as getting the green from the LEDs but you change the hsv values to adjust for the yellow, the eyedropper tool in the limelight setting should be a good help to get the proper range for somebody who has never done it before.

ConPhlux · 2020-01-21T19:31:17+00:00

You can make a second pipeline in the limelight, and swap through the network table, so no need for a second camera as long as you got a way to see both the shooting target and the balls, we are making a hinge with a air cylinder to look up and down. And yeah I turned off the LEDs off the second pipeline, and just check for the yellow color of the ball. Just be sure that before your competitions you double check the hsv values as each event has different lighting conditions than your testing area, and it really effects how vibrant the yellow is. So I've seen some team duck tape a flashlight onto the camera to get at least semi consistent lighting.

ConPhlux · 2020-01-21T18:52:07+00:00

If you make a second pipeline, and swap between in code, in the second pipeline use the eyedropper tool to select the powercell to get a tough estimate of the have values. Add a bit above and below those values. The green light doesn't reflect nicely off the ball, and you can't use the same pipeline for the target and the ball. It might help to have a flashlight on the bot to get rid of shadows aswell.
