More Pictures

Today was awesome! Our team was invited by Team 74- Holland C.H.A.O.S to do some testing today on their (almost) full size field. They invited a lot of local teams and there were at least a dozen teams with robots there today. I took a few pictures, and have a few updates.

Here is our robot with Team 2771 - Code Red Robotics right behind us. I'm not sure what we've run into in this picture, in fact I don't recall seeing this on the field at all...

Here is another picture of our robot with Code Red, before many of the other teams showed up.

Here is another shot of our robot.

Our drive team was looking to score on this robot, sorry I don't have a team or number associated with this one. If anyone knows this robot/team, please post a comment. Their robot had a really cool shooter on top.

This was an action shot right before we attempted a score.

We were successful in getting our color tracking autonomous mode working. We were even able to get the sonar working so we have a real good idea of when we are in scoring range. It turned out that when we moved the sonar to a different analog input on the digital side-car, it began giving us correct data. After I left today's practice, our robot did successfully dump at the right time in our color tracking autonomous mode.

Monday we will be fixing a couple switches on the robot that we've wired up incorrectly. These switches allow us to select our autonomous mode for the match. We may attempt a last minute effort to configure our gyro so that other autonomous modes would be able to turn a specific number of degrees. The last thing we'll do on Monday is put the robot in it's shipping bag and lock it up. Apparently it needs to be locked up by Tuesday at 5pm, and we don't think that we'll have any time to work during the day on Tuesday.

Last, but not least I want to thank Team 74 for inviting us to practice at their site today. It was awesome to be out there with so many teams! Thank you Holland C.H.A.O.S!!
