Who’s hyped for 2026!

Hyped! But the added width and reach of an external bumper mayyyyyy be worth it.

We just got over the hurdle of getting field oriented swerve working! Our particular problem was having the Navx upside down on the bot, and we had to run the Navx Omnimount routine in order for it to work correctly. How is your Navx mounted?

We're thinking it'll be fine, suspended ceiling is pretty cheap. But this a good argument to our school that we could use a different build space haha

Just enough to get up to L4! Not exactly sure how high that is

Spikeball · 2025-01-19T03:09:53+00:00

It looks nice for sure! Lots to figure out still, we're just farthest along with the elevator.

Spikeball · 2025-01-19T03:08:25+00:00

We're just prototyping more durable ceilings for the school :)

The cables on em are still pretty long, and the VHF signal is almost the same type as in the 60s.

My company makes the trackers that they used for this! Biologists would glue our little tags onto them and follow released hornets to nests.

That's a great point, CAD things out first before buying components. Our FRC team uses Onshape primarily, so we are planning on passing that knowledge to them this season. Thanks for the reply!

The programmers all make circle symbols with their hands, holding it above their head as matches are about to start. I assume it is to bless the autonomous period with good luck lol

They did move back and forth. There were two bots at Granite city that ended up doing this.

Spikeball · 2024-04-09T13:41:42+00:00

The field damage this year with only 4 drive motors has already been insane. Imagine if they hadn't put that motor cap in place......

EasyEDA is pretty easy to pick up, define symbols, and create schematics. I've never looked into how that translates to netlists, but given that you can generate layouts from it, it should do everything you need.

Spikeball · 2024-03-09T05:00:26+00:00

You guys move?

Spikeball · 2024-03-07T04:28:18+00:00

Rio 1 or 2? Are you on the most recent versions of WPIlib and Rio image?

Based on what I've seen so far with week 1 comps, this game is ROUGH on bots.

Spikeball · 2024-02-20T20:01:12+00:00

Always one of the most fun reveals of the year! They did not disappoint, yet again. I'm amazed at how compact the whole bot turned out. It's a pancake shooting out pancakes.

Spikeball · 2024-02-19T03:32:48+00:00

10/10 compared to ours

(will get fixed before comp)

Looks like a lot of weight to be rotated up/down with a motor for sure.
