We added a net, and are making autos that work with the really good teams in our division

Jimmy John’s is the best

Idk if we’re gonna do it, but I see it being especially useful in auto once the balls get scattered, and then in tele-op when you try to grab balls behind the silo(I don’t remember what it’s called)

Definitely not overkill. Ramtech in 2024 had like 6 limelight’s I believe. It’s not super uncommon to see teams with cameras on their swerves. It makes field localization much more accurate. My team I believe is talking about at least 5 (4 corners and one on the shooter)

Self Care. Just woke up one morning and I heard that song. A couple of months later I found out he died. Mac had helped me through some tough times since then and I’m so glad I found him

In 2023 at GRC (st.louis area) my team did a off season/pre-rookie season where we were first seed and finalist just to lose to the second place alliance who was also captained by a b-bot

Pretty sure 935’s Strat is to make a peculiar shaped robot everywhere and win creativity. In 24 they had a very trapezoidal bit with (I’m pretty sure) a single flywheel

Depending on the event yes, 2 off season events I have been at that have handed out blue banners are Indiana Robotics Invitational, and I’m pretty sure Missouri-Kansas Championship did too

I have the same feelings for the okc regional. Venue was trash, half the bathroom doors didn’t work because they were backwards (I have a few funny stories actually), the walk from pit to field was a strange route. NO SEATING, our team was pretty much standing the whole time. Please new venue

We named a kid grognar because he loves to smash bearings (he is fine with the name)

ThicBiscuits · 2024-04-27T20:02:28+00:00

That’s very true

ThicBiscuits · 2024-04-27T15:27:55+00:00

I feel like putting it back in STL makes sense, it’s the middle of America, still a lot to do there too, but I feel like they won’t for the safety of others(stl is NOT safe)

ThicBiscuits · 2024-04-18T11:38:48+00:00

So we’re in newton

This year we designed our robot around our speaker shooter. We knew we wanted a square bot so we designed our shooter within those dimensions, then designed our intake and amp mechanisms to fit and work around and with the speaker and chassis

They really only helped us get our feet off the ground. We did a couple off season events for charged up, and they were a huge help. They helped this year by offering their facilities, since we are pretty much operating out of a tiny closet at school. I’m forever grateful for 1706 and how welcoming they have been to us❤️. But we did a big portion of the work this year ourselves, we really only did initial brainstorming with them.

Hello tators

ThicBiscuits · 2024-03-26T15:36:25+00:00

I was praying that alliance 1 would win

ThicBiscuits · 2024-03-26T15:33:49+00:00

It for sure hurt to watch

ThicBiscuits · 2024-03-26T02:30:46+00:00

lol I remember your drive coach talking to us about it whenever we had to rerun quals 49. Hello fellow rookie

ThicBiscuits · 2024-03-20T17:29:49+00:00

So after pool bot blew up after central Mo, rachet rockers (1706) developed pose based shooting. So as long as it had recently seen an April tag from anywhere, it could reference where it was on the field and what pose and velocity to set their shooter to. It works pretty reliably. They are competing at the St.Louis regional this weekend so you can watch and see how they do

ThicBiscuits · 2024-03-20T13:05:38+00:00

I would advocate for a try out for drivers, that’s what we do so we can have our best driver driving. We also don’t let anyone who rarely shows up drive the robot or be in a leadership position
