Hey guys!
It's been quite some time since the last post and there's a good reason to that. CNY Break! (Chinese New Year Break) Other than celebrating and collecting money from relatives. I've been working on the FRC robot, getting the control system all set up. As well as interfacing the Kinect to the robot through Labview. For all who's new here, FRC (First Robotics Competition) is highly advanced robotics competition for high school students. Currently only has teams in the western countries. TAS (Taipei American School) is the first asian high school in the whole world currently actively participating in the FRC program.
Over CNY Break, some progress made was that the base of the robot is completed, all the electronics are mounted. Furthermore, test drove the robot through single joystick control as well as kinect control. A huge flaw found during our testing of the kinect was that there was an extremely large lag time between the actions to the response. This makes it impractical to control the robot real-time and make minute changes.
