2012-13 Mock Build Week - Ramp-o-rama

For the last week of the club season, our Head Mentor Jean gave the team a challenge: Ramp-o-rama

Objective:

  • Go up a ramp and stay at a predefined marker position

The ramp:

  • 30 degree ramp
  • Ramp has 3 markers (black Duct tape)
  • Mechanical stop at the bottom of the ramp

Autonomous:

  • The robot starts at the bottom of the ramp and then climbs to the top marker. It then stays for 3 seconds, goes to the middle marker and then finally goes to the bottom marker, for a final 3 seconds. At this point the teleoperated period begins.

Teleoperated:

  • When a position button is pressed by the driver, the robot moves to the corresponding marker. Example: When the "Top Marker" button is pressed, the robot will go to the top marker and stay there.

The Club designed their first Drive System inspired by Team 254.
