OH: "I like to microdose my dopamine hits."

There are some days when you feel all powerful. Building entire services. Squashing production bugs. Solving riddles.
Other days you spend the entire day trying to pair a lightbulb.

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!

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.

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.

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)

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.

Escaped the no heat home for a few hours for an evening #frcrobotics session. Really impressed with the software team's progress. I was freed up enough to float between the teams to help out with wiring, game strategy, gripper design, and a few other odds and ends.
The business team finished up their first build season video. Enjoy
