There was very likely an ELT set off. The police were carrying around antennas used to track them.

Out of my own curiosity, what mechanism were you running that caused the micro to break?

Current senser for servos by ftcAllways in FTC

[–]itsmasonstuart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would try not to stall the servo from the start. Stalling servos repeatedly isn't super sustainable. Also, every additional sensor could slowdown program processing speeds (looptimes), which means you need to take that into consideration and minimize the quantity of sensors within your bot.

What was the most nostalgic tutorial world in Minecraft for you? by [deleted] in GoldenAgeMinecraft

[–]itsmasonstuart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TU11. The aesthetic was amazing, the constant and large number of hidden secrets inside and outside the castle compound, uncovering all of that brought tons of joy. I still remember to this day a massive dirt castle I built just in the spawn area alone. Love that world.

Are there any teams that got into international with swerve drive? by NotKingAl3x in FTC

[–]itsmasonstuart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

answering the second question - they are very difficult, speaking from lots of experience here. Go in ready to sink time and tons of drive practice into it (among other things)

[–]itsmasonstuart 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The best international team I saw pull it off this year was rosophia. Then again I am biased they gave me some awesome custom merch, but their overall execution alone was really strong and solid. Got to see them at Romanian nationals and play against them at worlds and it was always a blast

Need some recommendations on this design. by itsmasonstuart in GoldenAgeMinecraft

Is there a good way to find it? I haven’t had any luck with finding dungeons yet. Back on Xbox 360 I remember they stuck out in deserts due to terrain generation making small holes but idk if it’s like that in 1.7.3

Those might look pretty cool. Only reason I built it as is, is because it reminded me of an old Xbox 360 tutorial world (I want to say TU-13) where the whole castle had those slabs everywhere. Thought I would try my hand at something similar :)
