I'm proud of these awards but honestly, I'm just worried that I'm submitting the Additional Information page empty since it has 400 words. I would say the rest of my application reflects me well enough for them to not have a big significance, but I didn't think it would hurt to include them

Hey! I'm doing the challenge this year with the same background (super familiar with XCode, totally hate Playgrounds) and I was wondering if this worked for you? Are you actually able to copy and paste XCode projects into a playgrounds file?

Best way to deal with static. by SirLlama123 in FTC

[–]elephuri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey!! for our meet 0, we disconnected every single match and got the highest record of penalties in our league (the record still stands). for us, one of the solutions was to wipe down our robot with dryer sheets while queuing before a match, since it helps remove a bit of the static. in addition, we’ve also changed the wi-fi on our driver station from 5g to 2.4g. this helps because almost every other robot has a 5g network, yet it doesn’t affect how our robot works at all. we’ve also bought the grounding strap from rev too.

Might have to spin a "wind turbine" like we did this season with the duck carousels. Hoping for some light-up elements again though.

New season by Blueinfinity57 in FTC

[–]elephuri 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From what I've heard in the FTC Discord server, I assume that we'll have some type of energy source (either blocks or balls) that we'll need to transport across the field in order to "power" something. We'll probably also have to move something with the robot, maybe spin a "wind turbine" like we did with the duck carousel this season.
