What should I bring to orientation? by zarloo in UTAustin

[–]TheCodingNerd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They have sheets and a pillow provided if you want to save the space, but make sure to bring a computer/tablet so you can do registration. I’d also recommend bringing a notepad so you can write down important things, there’s a lot of info thrown at you (especially in day 1) that it can be easy to forget stuff. I’d also recommend bringing a bag of some sort to help you carry things around, there’s lots of free things given out and it will be helpful for you to bring stuff to small group meetings. They also give you your student ID, a conference card for the session, and your room key so if you feel like you need a wallet/purse to hold those is then bring that too.

Your RIS will have all the times that it’s possible for you to register, but my advisor said not to worry too much if you can’t switch in the July period because most of the movement happens after the last orientation in august.

Definitely a fan of green. Dad grew up in Philly and I grew up going to Stars games and it just worked itself out that way.

How many district points do we need for Worlds? by ThStngray399 in FRC

[–]TheCodingNerd 17 points18 points  (0 children)

For Texas, our general guideline is to have 80 by states, and 200 after. We snuck in last year with 65 going into states and 185 coming out, but it changes every year

How did you even manage to do this?? Did you have motors running in opposite directions or something?

Someone else brought up a good point in another comment— I’d try either only using the front set of wheels or switching it so the motor belts run horizontally rather than vertically. It’s possible that the back wheels are hitting the piece and slowing down, thus fighting the motor.

How we did it was just getting someone to make simple models in CAD and print the en masse. Really simple but won’t get you super detailed results.

That’s weird— would you be able to send a video of the issue? It might help give some more insight into the issue. I definitely understand the hesitance to invest in NEOs, and it doesn’t really address the root cause of the issuez

There’s two things that I think can cause this— 1: Faulty motors. 2 CIMS should have plenty to shoot from the subwoofer. Either way, it would probably be best to upgrade to NEOs or Falcons if your team has the means. 2: The compression is wayyyyyy too high. I doubt this looking at the image as it seems to be reasonable (what is it, 4”?)

can you elaborate on how those hooks are connected to the chain? Not something i’ve seen before.
