A tip for a distracted class from #cultofpedagogy. Probably wouldn't work well for a consistently unruly group, but if you've established a rapport, they'll wonder what you're writing and care about if you're writing about them.

Competition monitor bot is loaded up and ready to track the team progress @frc8410

Our second competition starts tomorrow with load in, set up, and practice matches. The team itterated a few times in the last few weeks on intake design, elevator controls, and automation. And included some last minute prototyping building and finishing a whole new climbing system.
Looking forward to putting on a good show for the home crowd and we'll see if it's good enough to get us into district championships in a week and a half.

Tell me it's #FIRSTRobotics kickoff day without telling me it's kickoff day.

It's been a steady stream of #homeprojects in the last week. An exchange student is staying with us so a bed needed to be built. And since the "workshop" is slowly coming together, also making a rack for free weights to get them off the pile on the floor.

Saving this video to review for later so we can continue working on adding a vision system to our robot for next year.

After a bit of a break since the main competition season, we're at #WPI this weekend for an off-season #FIRSTRobotics competition. A good excuse for the students to visit the campus as well. GO OVERDRIVE #8410!

Advantageously chatted with one kid about the general idea of how to #calculate an estimate for the center of gravity for their #robot.
(Followed by my losing to them at super #TicTacToe https://tactic.itch.io/super-tic-tac-toe)

Day 1 in the books and I'm spent. The team just couldn't catch a break. Morale sunk pretty low. Learning some tough lessons on adjusting plans and expectations when you find yourself in a place you didn't plan on.

What a wild ride. From last year (first year) of being lucky if our robot stayed together, and even our most recent competition 2 weeks ago where we ranked 9th from the bottom to finish our first day of this weekend's competition in 6 place!

Being able to sleep in your own bed for a robotics competition weekend is severely underrated.
Getting to that bed before midnight remains a challenge.

Some last minute tweaks to the autonomous code before loading up tomorrow for the competition. Looks like we'll have an extra 4 points over our last competition's routine and a _much_ more reliable gripper. Very glad we were able to get the LEDs running on the robot as well. Competition at #UNH Whittemore Center with 40 other teams all this weekend. Free admission. Stop in anytime and say hi.

The competition this past weekend was intense and energizing. Day 2 led the team to adapting their strategy to essentially ignore the whole arm assembly since we couldn't get it working reliably and focus on our strengths of autonomous balancing and a combination of scoring by pushing and some defense.
Made it into the finals as a first pick in the second round of alliance selection (an improvement over last year) and getting one win in.

In the final hours of practice/tweaks before everything gets packed up tomorrow and shipped to Rhode Island for our competition this weekend.

It's all coming together! Competition in just a few more days. Still some work to do like mounting and wiring the gripper, but a lot of satisfied faces today seeing it drive for the first time and successfully (and easily) mount and balance on the charge station on the first attempt.

So our original schedule of getting the #robot to software for a week before the competition got cut down to 2 days, and now we're supposed to get a foot of snow for one of them.
They said that #FRCRobotics would be tough, but come on already!

Now that stressful part of the project where it's inevitably proposed "hey, if we work 34 hour days, we can probably still get it all done".

Fun coding project for the day.
The strategy team found https://www.statbotics.io/ which calculates an "EPA" expected points added for teams in matches. I was able to add it to our team HUD discord bot to help provide strength and weakness data for alliance partners or opponents during competitions.

Making a robot turn efficiently (i.e. rotating from 10 deg to 350 deg by turning back 20 degrees instead of turning 340 degrees)
TIL:
error = (heading - target + 540) % 360 - 180 -
This last month was a doosie. Layoff notice, multi day power outage, multi day heating outage (yes those were 2 separate events), caught COVID round 2.
Got a little normalcy back today. 6 hour build session for #frcrobotics team #8410. Fabrication is almost done. Electrical and software teams are chomping at the bit to get their hands on it. In the meantime some other well established teams are already in week 0 competitions today.
Here's the team's most recent update.

Another couple hours of #frcrobotics tonight. The team is really hitting its groove. Lot's of collaboration between subteams, great energy and encouragement, everyone pitching in where they can.
Came home after and needed to run on the dreadmill to ensure I'd be able to settle down for bed. Back at it again on Wednesday.
