2023 Western NE District Competition Review

At our last competition last weekend we placed as the second alliance. We ended qualifications with the number 4 spot with a peak of the number one spot. We were picked by the third team. We could’ve done better at our cycle times. We average 4-5 gamepieces in teleop but we are striving for 5-6 by next competition. Overall it was a great competition and we’re excited for districts.

FRC 2018 Wrap

Hot Wash

It was a mixed season for Team 1740. We finished 39/41 at the Rhode Island District but, after substantial re-engineering, improved to 16/42 at Hartford. Things I observed this season:
  • We can't afford to sit around waiting for parts
  • Four-wheel tank drive did not work well with friction wheels.
  • Four by Four-inch friction wheels did not work well over uneven terrain.
  • We should spend more time investigating drive train options. (Review AndyMark presentations.)
  • All moving/mechanical systems should be controllable (forks).

FRC 2018: PowerUp Teaser

FRC 2017 Recap

Great year for the team, our best finish ever at WPI district taking second on the alliance with teams 1519 and 190. Here are my programming notes for the year.

Sensors & Autonomous

Sensor feedback is not optional. All systems MUST have appropriate sensors in order to properly code autonomous mode. This includes encoders or counters for all motors, rangefinders for distance sensing, gyros for steering, and limit switches where appropriate. The new IMU worked great for steering in auto mode this year, but really requires drive motors to be coded with PID motor control.

Hartford District Competition 2017

We are going to the FRC Hartford District Competition on April 1st and 2nd at the Academy of Engineering and Green Technology at Hartford Public High School, 55 Forest Street, Hartford, CT.
