Drivetrain deliberation: Should we use wheels or treads?
Mechanical
Programming
-Since our strategy included shooting in the high goal, it is important that we be accurate in our shooting.
-The best way to achieve this accuracy is through using a camera to see the retro-reflective tape under the goals. After the strategy discussion, the programming team investigated the new WPI tool, GRIP, or GRaphical Image Processing.
-We found sample images released by WPI, and wrote an algorithm to filter out the retro-reflective tape. We were then able to get center X, center Y, width, height, and area of the tape.
-Tomorrow we will attempt to run GRIP on the roboRIO.
-In addition to investigating GRIP, we updated the firmware on the roboRIOs to support the 2016 WPILib.
Strategy
-We discussed what the Einstein alliances might look like, so we could better design our strategy around them.
-Looking at the defenses, it seemed that Group A was the hardest, assuming we cooperated with our alliance partners for group C. We did not count the low bar in this, since it is easy if the robot is designed small. However, designing a short robot sacrafices many other scoring opportunities.
-We decided our robot should have the ability to cross group A, B, and D, along with shooting in the high goal and hanging. In a match, our strategy would be to run "cycles" by posessing a boulder, crossing a defense, and scoring in the high goal. We needed to be able to cross most defenses so we could gain the breach ranking point. We would be able to damage 3/4 defenses required, while using cooperation to complete the 4th.
