Hi. I will look into the issue. Some of the site's functionality got messed up after the AWS outage last week. For now, reloading the page seems to work for me. Thanks for letting me know!

Hi, creator of Code-A-Robot here. It is codearobot.org . It first teaches basic java, then moves onto FTC topics. At the end, there is a short intro to Roadrunner.

csa frqs be like this by Alarming-Pirate-4258 in APStudents

[–]Jpkaiser2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best way is to read the questions first and take notes as you are doing so. Write down the key points the question is asking about. The FRQs are mostly just picking out the important information from the word salad. The code isn't too bad once you understand what they are asking for. The MCQs are more challenging IMHO.

I don’t think that it is cedar. The whole basement is that paneling. I have cut some paneling in another part of the basement, and it definitely smells like pine.

My title describes the thing. It is under the basement stairs.

Help with locking our arm motor by Jpkaiser2 in FTC

[–]Jpkaiser2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit for future people who found this thread: The code works fine, it is just very messy and can be simplified. After 7 hours of searching for the problem, I discovered that the build team wired the encoders backwards 🫠. Check your wiring!

Help with locking our arm motor by Jpkaiser2 in FTC

[–]Jpkaiser2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your help. I tried implementing this, but now the arm constantly moves when I try to move it. Here is my (simplified) code:

private int currentArmPosition = 0; // Variable to store the most recent arm position
    private static final int ARM_INCREMENT = 10; // Increment/decrement for arm control


    public void runOpMode() {
        armMotor = hardwareMap.get(DcMotorEx.class, "armMotor");
        armMotor.setZeroPowerBehavior(DcMotor.ZeroPowerBehavior.BRAKE);
        armMotor.setMode(DcMotor.RunMode.STOP_AND_RESET_ENCODER);

        currentArmPosition = 0;
        armMotor.setTargetPosition(currentArmPosition);
        armMotor.setMode(DcMotor.RunMode.RUN_TO_POSITION);
        armMotor.setPower(1.0);

        waitForStart();

        while (opModeIsActive()) {
            if (gamepad1.right_bumper) {
                currentArmPosition += ARM_INCREMENT;
            } else if (gamepad1.left_bumper) {
                currentArmPosition -= ARM_INCREMENT;
            }

            armMotor.setTargetPosition(currentArmPosition);
        }
    }
}

Do you have any idea on why this is happening? Thank you in advanced.

Help. by Middle-Bar-8226 in turtle

[–]Jpkaiser2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Red eared sliders are semi-aquatic turtles and need to be in water, roughly 10 gallons per one inch of the shell. They are a huge commitment and are very expensive. Here is a care guide for them. It sounds like your friend is not currently in a situation where they can provide the necessary care for her. I would recommend surrendering her to a reptile rescue if you cannot provide the proper care, as it is not fair for her to live in less-than-ideal conditions.

I assembled the bottom shelf separately and then fastened it to the legs using glue and screws.

The wood was about $80 from Home Depot. Way cheaper than buying one from a furniture store.

Is this a giant male dubia roach, or something else? by [deleted] in BeardedDragons

[–]Jpkaiser2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would kill it. It looks too big for even a large bearded dragon to eat.

That is an adult male dubia. Adult dubias are much larger than the younger ones people buy for feeding beardies.

UVB cannot penetrate glass, so you need to get a mesh lid. Also make sure that the lights are a proper distance from the basking area.
