Autonomous
In this part of the game, the robot needs to complete some tasks without a human driver and based on code and input from sensors. The robot needs to move the wobble to a specified zone, and shoot rings into goals, without the aid of a human. We use computer vision (TensorFlow Lite) to detect where to move the robot based off of the height of a ring stack and to align the robot with an image right beneath the goal.
Tele-Op
After 30 seconds into the game, the autonomous mode changes into the Tele-Op mode of the game. In this part, human drivers control the robots and shoot rings into the power shot, high goal, low goal, and mid goal to score points
End Game
The last 30 seconds of the game give us more methods to score points. Moving the wobble back to the starting point, putting rings on the wobble, and putting the wobble outside of the field are all the new methods to score parts.
We first started our FTC journey by finding all the mechanisms that we could use for shooting and collecting rings. We listed out pros and cons of each mechanism, and voted on the mechanism that we wanted to use. The next stage in our FTC journey was construction and coding.
