We plan to replace the tread with (8) six inch diameter tires. Both tank tread bearings failed we did not have spares. SUMMARY: Our competition robot "Ironwood" broke down in qualification match 24. Probably the best days for a field trip to a test facility is Saturday March 19 or Saturday March 26.

Team 2557 SOTAbots has a full size field in Tacoma that is open to everyone. Team 4450 invited Team 5295 to use their half field in a warehouse close to Capital High School in Olympia. In our robot cage - thanks primarily to A.Hospador - we have a Low Bar, Moat (B1), Rock Wall (D1), and Rough Terrain (D2). In Autonomous a team gets ten points just for crossing an undamaged defense.īuild our robots from kits that other FIRST Robotic Competition (FRC) teams used with success.

They had difficulty against a defensive robot in their three quarterfinal matches losing two matches by just three points! Although Team 4450 wrote three autonomous programs, none were ever used. Our parent Team 4450 Olympia Robotics Federation was the #2 scorer after the dozen qualification matches. Our sister 4-H Team 3787 Westport Wild Robotocats successfully overcame both the Portcullis (A1) and the Sally Port(C2). Bring spares of all parts to competitions. Only use drive systems other FRC teams used with success. Also we did not use an autonomous program. Tread bearings broke and we had no spares. After match 18, Hunter was able to give the driver the ability to use our camera to see around obstacles. PIT CREW: After qualification match 6, the pit crew was able to get the tread back on the robot, missing only one match. To best prepare for our district competition on April 1-2-3 at Auburn Senior High School, let's ask ourselves a few questions.ĭRIVE TEAM: Our robot "Ironwood" drove over a rock wall and successfully parked at the tower. Sure that the connection to the roboRIO is plugged into theĮthernet port that is next to the power connector. Note that you can verify the basic interface by plugging theĭriver station into the radio with an ethernet cable. To reset the WPA key to allow the wireless communication. New OpenMesh radio after your competition. Local AreaĬonnection is not being used when connect through the WiFi).Īlso make sure that you have successfully re-programmed the You should also disable any networkingĬonfigurations that are not being used (eg.

Strongly suggest verifying that your Windows Firewall is Instructions at Bottom of this LinkĦ) L.Spoldi of Team 230 Gaelhawks of Shelton High School in Shelton, Connecticut adds Follow These Stepsĥ) Disable Windows Firewall. When the above does not work, K.O'Connor (FRC Robotics Engineer at ) suggestsģ) Set drive station IP to 10.TE.AM.5 (TE.AM = 52.95)Ĥ) Make sure the adapter is not dual homed. This should refresh the IP address.Ģ) Plug roboRIO back into radio.

(student Lead Programmer for Olympia's Team 4450) suggestsġ) Unplug roboRIO at radio. We experienced this most recently March 26th at our test at Olympia Robotics Federation test field in Tumwater.

Sometimes our drive station operator console does not talk to the wireless radio.
