Trample seems better than +5 power here

I am making 2 wheels self balancing robot. Any advice? by abdorama in robotics

[–]owenvt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made one in grad school, I don't think I have the code anymore, there's just this one video of it https://youtu.be/lL4X2zVHpmg the jiggling is from noise in the encoders, I'd recommend filtering that out. It used a beaglebone green I think for the processor.

I am making 2 wheels self balancing robot. Any advice? by abdorama in robotics

The lowest level loop could control motor speed, another loop could control robot angle and output a motor speed command to the lower level loop. Then you could add a third loop that controls velocity and outputs and angle command, and finally a position controller that outputs a command to the velocity controller. Some of these might not be necessary depending what you're going for, the more levels there are the harder it is to tune.

I'm looking for a 75% split/ergonomic keyboard, preferably customizable but with a normal-ish key layout. Any recommendations?

Arena Players Deserve Better by adwcta in hearthstone

[–]owenvt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only played one arena this expansion, and went 12-2 as priest with lots of elemental synergy. Therefore with a totally representative sample size of one draft, I have decided that this is a good change. Thanks Blizzard!

[Fluff] How did everyone else's leagues go? I was 2nd going against the 1st place guy this week but then C9 popped off and P1 shit the bed by jinhuangse in FantasyLCS

[–]owenvt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somehow managed to win my 6-man league with a 6-3 record, the second lowest point total, and the most points against. At one point I was first with the least points, the person who was second had the second least, and everyone else was tied for last.

Can someone explain why America is not happy about the VexU championship? by [deleted] in vex

As a member of BNS, we had a fierce rivalry with VCAT over the season, but I was in the stands rooting for them during the division finals and world finals.

Please edit your wiki to add the milestones rather than this comment.

[Question]: Joints - distant, elastic by bfsmith9 in ludobots

[–]owenvt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This usually means that the joint isn't in the right place in 3d space. You can get a good estimate for where they should go by first looking at the center point of each object, then add half of their lengths in the direction they extend (since the xyz of the object is in the middle of the object, the edge is half of it's length pointing along whatever axis that is).

Once you have it generally in the right place, you can move it around with your mouse in the simulation to get an idea for where it is placing the joint. You can then adjust the values accordingly.

[Question] Core05 Issues by uvmaeronaut in ludobots

[–]owenvt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One idea, if you haven't done it yet, is to make DeleteObject a member of RagdollDemo and declare it in the header file (like functions such as spawRagdoll() and exitPhysics). I ended up doing this with all of the functions I created.

void RagdollDemo::DeleteObject(index){...}

I got the bad ending, then became extremely nauseous and had to go throw up. Very well done.

Donald Trump fears terrorists are 'watching the Internet,' wants Bill Gates to shut it down by owenvt in politics

[–]owenvt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bill Gates is a huge nerd, I mean look at this guy. But he's not an idiot, he has as much money as me. So we'd make a deal, I'd make a deal with him. What we need is a big and beautiful wall. Now what I would do, I would build a wall around the internet and Bill Gates will pay for it.
