We will! We are currently making a video on how to tune your robot for Road Runner. If you have that much trouble, you can also go to learnroadrunner.com to figure it out.
Are you using RoadRunners? if so, I have a few questions: 1. do you know how to account for any strafe-drift? 2. what command allows the robot to rotate? 3. our auto. pauses a bit before it starts moving, any reason why? sorry, just new to java, that auto is killer thx for any help :)
We are using RoadRunner. 1. Currently, we just set the position after the strafe +- 2in on the x/y axis to account for this. This ensures that the position of the robot is still accurate and useable for Roadrunner splines. We find this distance from testing how far the robot drifts for each trajectory where stafing is used. 2. You can use the drive.turn() method. We use this inside our trajectory sequence builders. (ex: .turn(Math.toRadians(90))) 3. Make sure you have everything you need during initialization so it is not overloaded when it is started. (ex: sleeve detection, roadrunner trajectories). Otherwise, you can reach out to us through darbots4151@gmail.com and we will be glad to help you.
@@ftcmicrocosm Hi, our lead builder asks: Hello Team DarBots Hope you're well. After watching your amazing 139 point video we noticed your cable managemnet for the intake mechanism. We have a similar structure in which the sliders go up and place the cone, but when coming back down the cable gets stuck in different places. Could you please advise how to fix it, or how you were able to make the cable come back to the same spot every time. Kind Regards, Team Splitbot (#19450)
If you could email a photo we can give suggestions. You might wanna use a cable manager thing to make it fall in the same place, or make something to keep tension in the cable so it won’t get caught up in the lift
@@ftcmicrocosm That problem is solved now, but wow, is there a function of RoadRunners that allows you to run other tasks whilst a trajectory is running? I saw the arm moving whilst the robot was moving
Could you guys make a Roadrunner tutorial? There’s barely any information about it

@@ftcmicrocosm YES! I would love to see this! That’s currently what we have most trouble with, and you’d be so much of a help to our rookie team ❤
wooww I loved the auton! and that was such a fast and good intake!
Thanks! Wish we could say the intake was perfect, but a lot of how good it is is due to our drivers and coders.
That's a really nice life, what model is it?
What do you mean? If you are talking about the chasis, it’s a custom one.
@@ftcmicrocosm Sorry, I meant lift 😅
ServoCity made the linear slide. It is off the website rn. I believe they are not producing it anymore. They merged with GoBuilda I think too.
@@ftcmicrocosm Thanks! My team uses GoBilda primarily so this may work
how do u guys do async lift while driving? Auton was great
Road Runner allows it
@@ftcmicrocosm cool, do u have to do anything extra or does RUN_TO_POSITION automatically happen asynchronously
Idk if you are talking about Auto or TeleOp tbh. We use setTargetPosition and setPower for the slide.
@@ftcmicrocosm ok thanks for your help
what motor do you guys use for your linear slide? It's really fast.
We just use a dc motor, the most important thing is the spool size.
Our main coder is just playing guitar during it.

Where can I use the FTC's seconds countdown software?
There is a video online with it, if you search FTC countdown you can find a video of it
Are y’all using road runner?
Yes we are.
What an amazing auto! Are you using two, or three odo pods?
We are using none, we are just using encoders. We will in the future.
