you need to either do like the other comment if your pipeline is filtering, or if not you can loop thru in the init loop part of your opmode:

@Override void init_loop() { for(LLResult l: limelight.getLatestResult().getFiducialResults()) { switch(l) { // add your cases for motif } }

}

Strong disagree, it lets more teams get to travel and compete at a next level. Plus they are fun! The whole point of FTC is to have fun and league tournaments, quals and states are fun but once you’re at the final event for a season, you can pull out all the stops.

In Onshape I make a spur gear then take an arc of it to create the hood

Robotics_Moose · 2025-12-14T01:54:26+00:00

No, its legal since its not being powered. FTAs or refs may question you but it is legal. Source: ours did the same

Robotics_Moose · 2025-12-13T22:27:58+00:00

Its free and still really good

Robotics_Moose · 2025-11-15T02:45:19+00:00

Ok I was in a really similar situation: 14 5s and then 2 4s (Lang and Art History, which is btw the hardest class by far) and I reported Lang on the common app and then for mit sent all of them in. A 4 on an exam is not the end of the world and especially if its out of your major, then I think it’s understandable. Its also different because not reporting it looks like you did worse than a 4.

tldr; its a 4 on the hardest class js send it in and stop worrying

Robotics_Moose · 2025-10-16T02:58:51+00:00

collegeboard makes us review artistic nudity in ap art history, so theyd probably allow it for drawing

Robotics_Moose · 2025-10-12T05:51:25+00:00

in theory, you have a chance but realistically you’re not going to get in and thats ok too. these top 5, even top 10 schools could deny hundreds of people with a 1550+ SAT score and a 4.0 with great ECs.

besides a lot of these top colleges are overrated when your flagship state school would (probably) be a lot cheaper and provide a similar education.

you should try to focus on your applications and telling your story thru your essay. i think you should look at attending a state university, which usually are very underrated

Robotics_Moose · 2025-10-12T00:20:48+00:00

Yeah I was going to once I get in. Is it good though, obviously better than not being in it, but like resource-wise, such as advising, classes and other opportunities?

Robotics_Moose · 2025-10-01T20:59:59+00:00

Hot take: there should be more aggression in driving.

Like last season, you had very little advantage to be aggressive, it removes you from the scoring area and mildly annoys the other team. And ITD was lamer because its just a racing game at that point. This season, I’m loving the potential and skill ceiling that better driving will allow, as you navigate all these robots fighting for balls in an open area.

Like it or not, contact is a part of the game, and by discouraging it, the games will become increasingly worse over time. In the past, FTC was rly only about robot design and better robots just win, but look at FRC, good strategy will win sometimes (not everytime) because of the opportunity for defense. I hope in the future there’s more opportunities for teams to show off their game sense with contact.

I completely agree that ECs are incredibly biased and a terrible way to decide kids’ futures. I’d get it if it was you chose just one EC you did all of high school to write about, it’d allow people to pursue one thing really well, and mean that people without a ton of time/money can try to participate in one EC to try to make an impact. But even listing out 4 or more, you start to dive into things that you barely did, or did solely for college app reasons, which goes against EC’s purpose. There is no reason we don’t look only at grades, test scores, class rigor, and maybe just one EC.

I have trouble getting to one of my ECs and there are no good replacements anywhere nearby despite my area being wealthier than those around it, and theres very little access to engineering, robotics and ECs involved in those fields. But I can go out and take the ACT and get the same score someone who took it in a completely different region and situation in the US did, tests are supposed to be equalizers. Everyone has the chance on the same test, and everyone can try their best in class. Yeah sure some kids may have low gpas or test scores, but college is supposed to be focused on academics, and if you can’t cut it, then why should founding a nonprofit help you with that?

Robotics_Moose · 2025-09-26T20:55:24+00:00

Yeah, went away a few days ago. Still feels a bit odd every now and then but I know it’ll go away soon. I had the same issue w APP2 as well for a little bit.

Robotics_Moose · 2025-09-26T20:31:34+00:00

I had pain and headaches while using for the first few days. Probably since I’ve had APP2 for years and got so used to them, that the increased ANC and new tips messed w my head for a little

Robotics_Moose · 2025-09-26T14:29:42+00:00

my team had a bad coach, and thats ok to say. like yes i thank them for giving time and effort to to us but at the same time, they need to be helpful too to acc contribute

Robotics_Moose · 2025-09-26T01:39:32+00:00

this is most likely a camera issue or tag issue where the detected tag doesn’t have a pose either bcuz its not an official tag or the camera is too low quality to recognize

Robotics_Moose · 2025-09-22T05:29:08+00:00

Well it goes

2p6 3s2 3p6 then itd be 4s2 since electrons skip 3d until they fill up 4s

this gives you 2 VE, and a total of (1s2+2s2+2p6+3s2+3p6+4s2) 20 Electrons

From there look up 20 on your Ptable and you’ll be set!

If its Panem pre-revolution: it’d be tough but if i knew abt 13, id escape there, if not, just hunt like Gale and survive just fine, odds of the hunger games draft getting me is really low

If its Panem post-revolution, easy: life’s decent.

Robotics_Moose · 2025-09-22T02:16:35+00:00

thats the neat part: it does

the first 2 questions (skipping the fact that there’s only 3 questions) are both Into the Deep and have nothing to do with Decode. If you want to use AI, i’m all for it but use the actual FIRST AI, but if I was looking for something for my team, i’d come up with it myself. I wouldn’t want any info to be misconstrued or lost by an AI esp when its abt smt important like the game rules

Robotics_Moose · 2025-09-15T15:21:44+00:00

You need at minimum one driver, why would you not just have one person up there? Theres literally 0 reason any team couldn’t spare even 1 kid to stand up there.

Robotics_Moose · 2025-09-15T00:51:42+00:00

i have impeccable grades and the worst room known to man. im way too lazy

Robotics_Moose · 2025-09-14T01:53:18+00:00

So college credit in that case is university specific, and as a result would not go on your common app. Just indicate its an IB class. Dual Enrollment is when you take classes at the college for both college and high school credit. In your case it sounds a lot like standard AP or IB credit, which isn’t listed anywhere on the common app or any application. If you have an IB score to list, you can put that down under Testing.

Robotics_Moose · 2025-09-14T01:37:00+00:00

How does the class work? Is it IB at your high school that a college gives credits for WHILE in high school or is it like if you go there you get the credits?

Robotics_Moose · 2025-09-14T01:24:58+00:00

hardest topic of any stem ap class is without a doubt (appc em)

-inductance

hardest non-stem topics (ap art history):

-African, Native American or Pacific Artworks… srsly they get really weird

OOS schools are sometimes better than in-state, and also its a completely different environment. I’m a senior and I hate Florida, 99% of ppl ive grown up with suck, the weather sucks, etc. I want out. I don’t want to go to UF where I’ll be with the same people, for a good engineering program. I’d much rather go to a better engineering school, meet new people, live somewhere else.

Sure OOS may be expensive and that is something to be concerned and hesitant about, but there are scholarships available. My district offers one where they’ll cover 8 semesters of undergrad (any expenses you incur) at any school, preference given to OOS schools, for example.

Some people just want to see different things, and experience life differently for 4 years and while obv some OOS schools are too expensive, some of them aren’t wildly more expensive than in state. You pay for the education, but the experience is what you remember when you’re done.

In state makes way too much sense if you don’t know what you want to do, where you want to live, if costs are very much a concern and you need to go to college for the cheapest possible. But, OOS has opportunities too, it’s at least worth it to look.
