5 cones in 30 seconds on 7.4v batts (we haven’t charged since worlds ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ).
All 1x speed.
Yes, I suck at driving.

This is an interesting challenge :slight_smile:

but think a fairer test will be to collect from the match load and stack.

#3

Are you guys using a DR4B??

#4

gotta carry the base around to be faster

#5

Challenge accepted

#6

Fixed that for you. :slight_smile:

#7

If doing the challenge, would you start with the mobile goal in your robot to begin with or would you have to intake that after the timer is started?

#8

You would have to get it after the match started. The only thing that you’re allowed to have at the beginning of the match is your preload Cone

#9

Definitely. We also did significantly more driving than the original challenge robot (136) in our time trial. There needs to be standards set if this challenge is to be used as a completely accurate benchmark for robot merit.

Also, tough for us to use the match load/stack because we don’t have field elements yet :frowning:

Have you guys received your field elements yet in Singapore?

#10

That’s for you to decide :slight_smile:

#11

Reported to @DRow for inflammatory and misleading conduct.

#12

I mean its not a sweep if its in 5 games

We’re looking forward to seeing everybody’s robots :slight_smile:

But if this is to be an accurate reflection of each robot’s ability then cone/goal orientation need to be agreed upon. Like we drove much further distances in our video than did 136 in their’s (just a comparison, not intended to be disparaging), so not completely a fair challenge.

#15

Yeah. You need to write a button push to pick up a cone in front+lift up and another button push to stack+let go+back off. I see that as a must in this game. Let’s bring back the good old programming assist in Curahee. And that thing was programmed with easy c v4. (You new people probably never used it lol)

#16

Interesting, I wonder what makes you so assertively feel that those specific macros are going to be essential and useful for situations across the entire game…While I feel that some macros are important, such as automated pick up, as a driver too many buttons historically feels cluttered and slower (just practice, man :))

And for the record, for our first couple of years we were proud easy c v4 users :slight_smile:
