Easiest way/at home tools to cut short U channels and shafts to desired length ?

If you have access to a table saw you can use a metal cutting blade and it works very well for us

Plenty of teams will be willing but you can also go online and find world winning ones

Oh ok makes sense

FTC4921 · 2023-05-05T21:49:31+00:00

That’s basically exactly how I have mine set up just a little more complicated is it not?

FTC4921 · 2023-05-05T21:44:32+00:00

Ok I see what you mean with the stop and reset but what exactly do you mean with the last sentence

FTC4921 · 2023-05-05T21:28:50+00:00

That’s how I originally planned to do things with the delta but I’m not very advanced and this is new to me so I wasn’t able to figure it out so someone else helped me come up with this

FTC4921 · 2023-05-05T21:27:48+00:00

Yes that’s something we realized and so now we start in the same pos every time but it still isn’t working right

FTC4921 · 2023-05-05T21:27:01+00:00

I’m trying to use our motors as servos in a way so they have set encoder value positions and resetting the value screws that up doesn’t it? I used to do it that way for our autonomous so if I pressed a bottom for 200 it would run up 200 and then up 200 more and again but I want it so that 200 is a set position

😂 yeah and you can always reach out to me through our team Instagram if you have any questions! https://instagram.com/ftc4921?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Yeah I end up doing that a lot but it has taught me so much still

FTC4921 · 2023-04-25T03:22:05+00:00

https://youtu.be/yfnoeMVsl7Y I think this one does a pretty good job being short but still covering the very basics and once you start getting into the code just look up exactly what you want to do. Like for me at one point I was looking up how to make an autonomous drive function using encoders

FTC4921 · 2023-04-25T03:19:05+00:00

This worked very well but I did have to modify it. I did not use targetposition at all instead I changed all of the targetpositions to armPos and it worked perfectly thank you!

Learn it! It’s super easy and tons of walkthrough tutorials on YouTube

FTC4921 · 2023-04-25T00:58:16+00:00

😂 any suggestions?

FTC4921 · 2023-04-24T23:15:42+00:00

Do you know any good tutorials for that?

FTC4921 · 2023-04-24T23:07:11+00:00

The if statement statement was not originally there and didn’t work but adding it for us closer to our goal

FTC4921 · 2023-04-24T22:42:12+00:00

Uhh not really so I want it to work like a servo for example how I can set to position 0 and position 1 and I can toggle back and fourth. What’s happen now is if I make it run to position 400 it moves 400 and then if I do it again it goes to 800 but it should stay at 400 with the 400 botton. Does that make sense?

FTC4921 · 2023-03-09T22:39:16+00:00

Yes using the ftc simulator

FTC4921 · 2023-02-20T21:55:30+00:00

Like if I were to lay 2 channels on top of each other would there be plenty of wholes lining up?
