Make these available for hand outs at Gaylord

phurley commented 6 years ago

With our teams more advanced programming in more recent years and the fact that our team name is known throughout the area/world, we have the ability to share this knowledge with various teams who need help from around Michigan and maybe the world.

The goal is to create a complete guide for autons with the moto: steal from the best and add a little bit more along the way. The guide would have everything starting with a very simple drive forward auton all the way to creating advanced motion profiles to perform the scale with possibly multiple cube autons. It would need to provide descriptions, instructions, references, and video tutorials in order to be utilized so that teams fully grasp the new concepts.

We would like you programmers who would like to prove themselves as hard workers and leaders in the group to start to put together a game plan by working together to figure out what steps will need to be taken to accomplish this and who would do what.

The goal for this year would be to help out as many teams who want it as well as learn how to put together tutorial information and learn about our own autons at a deeper level if they are not fully understood by everyone in our own group yet (which I am sure they are not).

Topics to Cover:

  1. Open vs. Closed Loop
  2. Motion Profiling
  3. path planning
  4. Graphing Data
  5. Taking measurments
  6. PIDF
  7. Calculating Feed Forward
  8. Setting a proportional gain
  9. Running a path
  10. Closing the loop on distance
  11. Closing the loop with a gyro

Students who like to take charge of this please start brainstorming ideas and communicating on how we should approach. We would like to get started this week and continue to develop throughout competition season. I think we should plan to release something before like week 3 or 4 if possible.

We have created a google shared folder for everyone to calibrate in, but we are expecting students to take charge in creating the rough copy of the information, mentors will review, comment, and be here to support if there are any questions :) Students please fill in as much as you know and understand; there is never a penalty in being wrong

I'm excited to see what you guys will be able to come up with!
