so amazing

[@chillchinchilla4881]

So cool seeing you guys do so well at states!

[@lazerrobotics]

Thank you so much! What team were you on?

[@davidpollardfll2387]

For moving the truck you should build a weight powered cart and then put a ramp on that releases the car when it hits a wall In the right home area.

[@lazerrobotics]

Thanks for the idea! We might consider it in the future

[@yahligilboa7489]

Wow! How do you get such accurate turns? Is it via gyro/motor rotations (encoder)/acceleration?

[@lazerrobotics]

Yes! All of our turns are done with a gyro turning algorithm that makes all turns the same speed.

[@yahligilboa7489]

@@lazerrobotics cool!
me and my teams have had some issues with gyro turns because it tends to overshoot even at low speeds. we solved it by attempting to turn a second time after the first turn, at a lower speed to the second direction with pretty good success: but it is a bit slow. do you have any tips on efficient gyro turns I can give out to my teams?
thanks in advance!

[@lazerrobotics]

We also ran into the issue of over turning. To solve it, we figured out how much we over turn after each turn, which for most people is around 7 degrees. We then subtracted that value from the amount we wanted to turn. The more complex part of the algorithm is the part that makes all turns take the same amount of time. It will speed up the turn the longer it is and shorten the speed the shorter the turn is. Hope this helps!

@@lazerrobotics wow, impressive. what does the constant time of the turns help with? thanks for the answers up until now!

[@lazerrobotics]

@@yahligilboa7489 The constant turn speed just helps us know how long each turn is so we can plan accordingly with how the 2:30 time period. We would be happy to talk more so feel free to reach out to us at [e-mail].
