ITS THE FINAL COUNTDOWN...

[Richard Sisk]

Final days, everyone doing OK? 

We are still assembling the robot. A little worried, but that's the name of the game every year.

[DEVICARIIS DARA]

The ElectroTitans 4056 are almost finished!!! We have a very successful Gear Delivery Mechanism with a working camera that helps the driver align the gear. We just finished our roper climber and it worked the very first time!!! Miracle!!! We are now adding a rope "guide and touch pad push mechanism that should be finished within the hour. We only have a few aesthetic things we would like to accomplish before Wednesday evening. Monday will be the day to duplicate what we still need to onto the practice bot. Pictures and video to follow!

Thank-you,

Team 5877, Mechalodons are scrambling to get stuff tested and still working on finishing parts of the bot, haha

It's one of those years... thank goodness for a 2nd bot which we will still have to build after bag day :O

This is going to be a nail biter!

Good luck everyone.

Just so everyone is clear, stop build for us is at 8:59PM on Tuesday.

It's different than in previous years.

WHEN DO WE STOP WORKING ON THE ROBOT AND BAG IT?
Rule R15
All ROBOT elements (including items intended for use during the competition in alternative configurations of the ROBOT), with the exception of the WITHHOLDING ALLOWANCE per R21, BUMPERS, and COTS items, must be bagged and sealed, by 04:59 UTC on Stop Build Day, Wednesday, February 22, 2017.

Team 3453 DEMBOTS  are driving, intaking and mounting gears, floor picking fuel balls, and rope climbing.  We need to finish assembling and mounting the fuel ball hopper and shooter mechanisms. We are also working on assembly of the second robot. As usual, it will be a push to the finish. 

Thanks!

Team 6069 BHS Robotics is nearly finished with our robot. We had to give up on the floor fuel collector, so we will have to focus on moving gears, but our robot is capable of collecting up to 90 total fuel balls from the hoppers and pour them into the low boiler FAST. we need to securely attach our winch for the rope climb, it is untested and I am so worried about the robot falling and damaging itself. Oh well, no guts, no glory.

I have two questions.

For those community events where we unbag and display the robot for less than 4 hours, can we load new code onto the robot, or are we only allowed to use the code that is already on the roboRio when we bagged it?

Do we need to put the battery and bumpers into the zip tied robot bag on stop build day?

Thank you,
Michael Gill

You don't have to bag your bumpers and batteries.--John Gifford

[Danielle Sisk]

Loading code would be considered unallowed work for demonstration purposes.

Bumpers and batteries do not need to be included in the bag and are not considered part of your allowable weight to bring in. (Meaning you are not at a disadvantage if you don't bag them) If you do bag your bumpers, especially if you do so with them attached to the robot, be mindful of fitting through door frames when you need to transport your robot. 

Best of luck everyone with these last few days!

My programmers are having trouble getting the webcam working this year. Do any of you have tips for getting the webcam display on the driver station? They are using Windows 7, programming in Java. Looks like we need to get it working before stop build day. Sample code code would be helpful. I need to double check to see if we missed an update somewhere.

Thanks,
Michael Gill

Hi Michael,   we had the same issue & found that the following works.

Thanks, Kim Burndred - Team 3953

Java  (NOTE: put your team number where ???? is)

package org.usfirst.frc.team????.robot;

import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.CameraServer;

import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.IterativeRobot;

public class Robot extends IterativeRobot {

public void robotInit() {

CameraServer.getInstance().startAutomaticCapture();

}

}

C++

#include "WPILib.h"

class Robot: public IterativeRobot {

private: void RobotInit() {

CameraServer::GetInstance()->StartAutomaticCapture();

}

}; START_ROBOT_CLASS(Robot)

CameraServer is the class you want to use to send the camera feed to the dashboard
