Getting Started

  • First off, use igvc:LearnSvn to set up SVN on your computer/learn how we store code and other things. Download the Newbotics Module after going through the SVN tutorial.
  • Setup software in software setup to get ready to program. See an officer for checkout of Metrowerks Codewarrior and how to get other programs you might need.
  • Interface with last year's Region V robot and try to make an improvement to it.
  • Try a software challenge to begin learning the code, as well as becoming a good candidate for movement to the IGVC team after working on Region V.
  • Software Tutorials - Valvano's Codewarrior Examples

Region V Competition

  • Need to get drivers working for:
    • Compass
    • Encoders
    • Motors
    • Camera
    • Sonars
  • Suggestions/Ideas to Ponder for Region Competition code
    • Place robot near to a can in hopes its the first one to pick up, or between two cans hoping its not the third one in outer solar ring.
    • Move as straight as possible to first can using sonars or encoders (if we know our exact starting position) (avoiding center), pick up, grip, detect color, take as straight as possible to drop off area for that color. Switch to next can in priority order, repeat. Repeat again for third can.
