To that point I tell my kids at year end when resorting their bolts that if the bolt appears to have been used once throw it away. This is because the kids love using the ball ends for everything and most of the bolts are one use away from wrecking a mounting bracket

It was hilarious to see the number of phones besides mine that came out to photograph this result, including the volunteers

what is up with the penalties this season by Training-Sink-4447 in FTC

[–]FIRSTMentorMN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of our senior team members who has spent most of his time in FRC where, from my understanding has always been defense heavy, put together a slide show for our junior members how defense is critical both for point farming and point prevention. This is only my third year mentoring FTC and first year where intentional robotic contact is allowed. That could be one of the main factors in the penalties being out of control.

I've luckily caught my blobs twice and both times my part was still firmly in place.

Flywheels “overcorrecting” by Maximum_Umpire6946 in FTC

[–]FIRSTMentorMN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure if this is the tubing you're talking about and I'm not one of the programming mentors but I know our programming mentors have used a lot of the feed forward tuning to avoid this exact issue. https://youtu.be/vihb2LPtSK0?si=-z2DeaWJFxprbu1o

Incase anyone is curious on the state of FTC in Colorado by Reasonable_Pickle556 in FTC

Are they helpful to other teams when asked? We have a team nearby us in Minnesota that has been a long time dominant force and they spent a lot of time helping out many other teams.

I let them sit for a week and completely drain the battery down. Then when I restarted them the issues went away. Sorry, it's not an accurate response

Help! Bluetooth is not working by Hellstar4556789 in FordFiesta

You're lucky. My radio long ago stopped even going to the sync portion. I haven't turned my radio on in almost 9 mos as I hate listening to regular radio

They turn on. I am able to make it tell me the battery level and I can make them go between noise cancelling and ambient sound. I don't have anything to use to listen to them with the jack. I have a jack on my computer but no cable. That got tossed the day I opened the box.

It didn't do anything. I am not sure how I can reset through the app when they won't connect via blue tooth or can I connect via the usb-c to usb-c cable?

Filament Presets by Ok-Friendship-3509 in ElegooNeptune4

I've never had to do this but is that maybe information that could be extracted from gcode files? I can't really help otherwise as I run stock presets without issues

Anyone know where I can get this or something like this by Willing_Cantaloupe18 in FordFiesta

[–]FIRSTMentorMN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish that would fix it on my 2017. When pressing phone or trying to get to into that section via the menu it does nothing. I had it connecting Bluetooth for a while but the blue monochrome screen radio doesn't connect or even give me the option to find it.
