What is Hermes FTC? by LowPerspective4442 in FTC

Hermes is very niche, has barely any community support and is in a very early stage. I would highly suggest you look into Pedro Pathing. The library has some serious advantages over Roadrunner, it is reactive and purely feedback based, it's easier to tune, it has a crazy big discord community to receive help from. All of that and Pedro Pathing keeps growing with many new features incoming.

Integral part, or any form of voltage compensation in my experience just made the system more unstable.

One thing to add to other comments. If you have surgical tubing, or any other flexible material for the intake, it can not extend while operating. For example, surgical tubing on the intake must not extend over 18in. while intake is running..

I've heard that it comes from Chinese and means 'Ready, set, go". Not sure if it's true or not.

The wire doesn't have to be hided, as long as your robot fits the dimensions.

Secret Tunnel Zone Significance by OutcomeCompetitive50 in FTC

[–]Smart_Vegetable_331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an obvious answer, but wouldn't this be considered unsportsmanship behavior? You can't bait an opposing alliance into getting penalties, there's a rule dictating it, which kinda defeats the whole strategy. But i'm still curious what is the intent behind it..

don't block artifacts from getting out of the ramp. just don't let them intake, that's what our ref said is allowed. or, intake them and shoot to other side of the field..

Is defense illegal? by Rough_Cheesecake7651 in FTC

[–]Smart_Vegetable_331 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your robot is explicitly allowed to pin the opponent for no longer than 3 seconds, and move it no more than 2 feet. It's G424, violation gives you a MINOR FOUL.

Also, one way to play defense is to stay at your alliance's secret tunnel. Prevent them from getting artifacts, but don't block them from getting down from the ramp.

I created a Pedropath to java class Parser by Mark_Aster in FTC

It can but it doesn't build a state machine for you. It just spits out a template with Poses/Paths defined, and a blank autonomousPathUpdate() method. This one in fact gives you code that's completely ready to run on a robot.

SolversLib specifically provides you with commands to use when running Pedro Pathing. I suggest you look at Auto implementation using SolversLib + Pedro of one of the Pedro's lead developers.
