    "Code is my enemy" *Wins Control Award*

      last year we literally got taken in the 3rd alliance even tho the robot was really crapy. in one match the welding of the claw we had broke and it was literaly hanging by the little pneumatic pipe we had instaled for the pistons we had on said claw and we had to fix it with duck tape. But we still got taken because of the autonomous period we had coded in literaly 3 hours the previous day before going to bed (we were 3 in the programation team btw)and the worst thing is it worked better than some of the most prestigious team of the competition but that was in FRC competition

      At comp today, we somehow managed to outcompete the only two other teams who had applied for the control award and we didn’t have sensors.

      Ftc is more fun IMO, because not only do you have to overcome the challenges of the game but you are much more restricted due to the size requirements

    as someone who codes for an FRC robot written in C++ the android studio java coding options for FTC are so unnecessary complicated

    • @sheep9374
      @sheep9374  Рік тому

      exactly, I've been learning about stm32 programming, and the setup for that is barely harder than going through the android studio nonsense
      considering stm32 programming uses a code "generator" (thus it being a bit complex is ok), this does show some issues

    Hello this is a bit late but I was wondering how you were able to get supplies for the robot? I'm thinking about starting my own team next year and was wondering if I could get any tips? Thanks!

    • @sheep9374
      @sheep9374  9 місяців тому

      supplies - avoid buying tetrix, gobilda is a good starting point but their servos can be iffy (random delayed starts after being used a while)
      tips - continue making improvements to your robot, don't be afraid to take everything apart but try not to make very drastic changes as the season goes on
      also do driver practice, your driver should communicate with your coder so they can ask for ease-of-use features
