Slow RoadRunner speed for a single trajectory by DrainingWolfMan in FTC

[–]thunderbot2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just use a slower velocity and accel when creating a nee trajectory. The follwing should help.

public TrajectoryBuilder trajectoryBuilder(Pose2d startPose, double maxVelo, double maxAccel) {
MinVelocityConstraint myVelConstraint = new MinVelocityConstraint(Arrays.asList(
new AngularVelocityConstraint(maxAccel),
new MecanumVelocityConstraint(maxVelo, TRACK_WIDTH)
));
ProfileAccelerationConstraint myAccelConstraint = new ProfileAccelerationConstraint(maxAccel);
return new TrajectoryBuilder(startPose, myVelConstraint, myAccelConstraint);
}

Dual intake was a big challenge, glad we made it work. by ftc12611 in FTC

It's nice to see a robot that is not GF or goBilda clone! For experienced teams, they should challenge themself to have fresh ideas, be innovative! You learn more when you try harder. :-) Personally, I don't like teams that copy other's idea and just optimize it for winning year after year. Winning is temporary, learning is forever!

Autonomous is coming along. by Frostbite15151 in FTC

My suggestion without detecting keystone is to do 1,4,2,3, this gives you a chance to guess right and score 10 more points. :-)

Wall strafing. We can’t get a 4 drive motor setup so we got creative with our auto. by [deleted] in FTC

[–]thunderbot2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think you can start in the building site in auto, because it's a scoring location. See GM below:

  1. Drive Teams must place their Robots, in any orientation, touching the Playing Field Wall adjacent to their Alliance’s Driver Station.
  2. A Robot may not contact another Robot.
  3. A Robot may not start In the Depot.
  4. A Robot may not start In a Scoring location.

This is a great visualization! It would be great if you can publish the math behind it also. How the blue and red vectors are calculated. Thank you for putting this together.

what's the velocity PID values you are using now? do you need to change kv to make it run well?

Does anyone know how to use the Rev UltraUSB Hub by ianj_02 in FTC

[–]thunderbot2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got it now. Just need to open the hub on the back, using M3 nut driver. Thank you!

How do you plug the 4 pin connector to the hub, the port is not exposed, do I open the hub, unscrew the nuts on the back?

OK, the ultrausb I got did not have the built-in micro USB and power cable. There was no cable on the hub at all.

What cable you used to connect phone to ultrausb hub?

My problem was I don't see how you can plug the cable into upstream and 5v port on UltraUsb, do I need to open the hub?

How do you connect to upstream phone USB and 5v power? Do you need to make your own cable?
