FTC Build a Better Robot Cougar Robotics 4251

Game Analysis

Points! Points! Points! Where are the points? What are the limits? Are there unlimited points opportunities? o Like lifting in Bowled Over!

Time How long will things take? Are there low/no value goals that will simply waste time?

Other Robots How easy will defense be? o Rack was easy to defend in Ring It Up! How many robots does it take to accomplish a given task? o Lifting in Ring It Up!

Your Robot What qualities should a robot have, let’s take drivetrain for example o Ring It Up! - powerful, hold/take a position in front of rack  Scoring opportunities space constrained o Bowled Over - agility, speed more important than power  Scoring opportunities all over the field o Get Over It! - drive train that could navigate all the terrain.

Design Principles and Strategies

KISS o Keep It Super Simple Tool Design First Leapfrog Development o Never go backwards Repetitive Testing o Repetitive Testing Competitive Development

Heartbeat Using a twitching servo before both autonomous and tele-op as a heartbeat A proactive robot health check so you can know when to call for a power cycle Last controller on the daisy chain We did this last year, but the rules have changed so we can’t do this What can we do instead?
