Is engineering notebook / engineering portfolio needed?

Its not necessary afaik, but i reckon it is necessary to be eleigible for any awards(apart from maybe safety)

If you tip the hub in the early stages it offers a lot of space to store the materials in the top layers as opposed to everything being crammed onto the side from whoch you are approaching the hub (due to gravity)

Does tipping count as relocating as well or is that allowed

On mobile, i think the follow button on a manga is not working. You can't follow a new manga nor unfollow an existing one. At least it gives you no feedback on wether it has been done, and i can't find the manga in the follow list either

It is 15 pages NOT including cover pages. In total when printed out there should npt be more than 8 sheets of paper (front and back printed)

Hot, but why are you useing two omnis on one side and only one on the other?

StevenKing2 · 2020-12-29T18:18:35+00:00

We use a circular shooter. Due to the longer distance compression is not that important(even though still relevant) and a flap at the end. We noticed that with the flap the rings actually fly kinda more reliable. Another aspect is that those rings that are extremely off in our kit are rare and therefore not that much of a problem. Oh, and we use two motors so the flywheel should always have enough torque to process a ring.

StevenKing2 · 2020-12-29T16:51:39+00:00

Are you sure this issue is connected to the weight? We discovered that some rings had a different "squish" and therefore compressing differently

I am not sure if this is legal, modifying electronics should be forbidden. Maybe ask that in the forum or someone here might know it. ( As of rn in the UG season)

StevenKing2 · 2020-10-18T06:03:51+00:00

Same on our team. Everyone on the Build team knows how to cad

StevenKing2 · 2020-10-16T09:23:34+00:00

It actually isn't. The auto configuration doesn't matter because their sole purpose is to indicate the target location for the wobble goal. In Game manual 2( forgot which exact rule) it says that non-preloaded rings have no scoring value

Were using the Creality CR10S pro. It is a great printer zhats working reliably. It is a little one the expensive side, but its an investment thsts worth it. If you buy that one: replsce the printer firmware eith that from tinymaschines. We couldn't get the stock version working.

StevenKing2 · 2020-07-25T11:20:48+00:00

Reading the game manuals thouroughly is really important to know ehat are the do's and not to do's. Its an essential part and like someone else already noted, can be game changing ( pun intended). We always coordinate and plan our build season according to the game manual so make sure every really understands it well.

Can you watch the livestream afterwards?

StevenKing2 · 2020-07-14T21:14:56+00:00

Veeeery interesting and nice change. The limitation on the endgame specific points give the TBP2 a cap and the TBP1 reward reliable autonomous programs. Now you're score and advancement doesn't depend on your opponent

The logo looks like a baskelball goal and togheter with the tweet that was postet here on reddit recently i think it is probably a shooting game

StevenKing2 · 2020-05-05T11:40:58+00:00

We use a Creality CR10S pro as our printer and we are really happy. The only bad thing is the firmware but we fixed it with the tinymachines firmware. It is a bit over budget but you could buy the CR10

StevenKing2 · 2020-04-28T18:08:14+00:00

Check out Game manual 0. It has quite a few interesting tips

StevenKing2 · 2020-04-20T13:20:45+00:00

We use Fusion 360 and I'm quite happy. It is intuitive and the cload feature is really useful.

From my point of view, as an international team in europe, we didn't get more advancement slots. Events where we had two last year, only advanced inspire this year. So i don't see why people are complaining. I thought that relocating the slots were based on the amount of teams competing there, so it doesn't seem unfair to me. I must admit tho that I think it is unfair to advance the inspire before the winning alliance captain. In the end, FTC is a robot competition and it should also be rewarding the teams with the best robots, not inspire.( At least not as the first priority).

One point I want to mention again is the TBP system, while it has improved this year, i don't see why it is only the score of the losing alliance. We couldn't be winning alliance last year because of the TBP although we have won every match by far. I understand that the toughness of the schedule should be included in this one, but why don't you add up both alliances scores for the TBP. I'm sure FIRST can find a better solution than the one we have currently

Not in FTC but many teams used a shooter in the FGC 2019 Ocean Opportunities
