Control System

• New control system: roboRIO– Allows for programming over the USB device port

Control System

• roboRIO includes integrated 3-axis accelerometer

• Vastly improved reboot times• No reboot required when deploying new code• roboRIO should only be imaged over USB• Ethernet cables over 30m (98 ft) should not be

used

roboRIO

• 512 MB nonvolatile storage• 256 MB DDR3 RAM at 533 MHz• 16 bit-wide data bus• 3-axis integrated accelerometer at 800 samples/sec

with range of 8g• Running NI Linux Real-Time OS• Windows required to program

Communication and Control

• During matches: D-Link Wireless Bridge required for communicating with the robot– Configured at each event

• roboRIO, Wireless Bridge, and Driver Station Software must all be configured to their corresponding team

Gameplay (Autonomous)

• 15-second autonomous• No direct or indirect communication with

driver station during autonomous mode– Use of devices such as webcam prohibited

• Scoring–All robots in auto zone: 4 points–All yellow totes in auto zone: 6 points–All yellow totes stacked: 20 points–All recycling containers scored: 8 points

Gameplay (Autonomous)

• Any game pieces can be moved; only yellow totes and recycling containers receive autonomous-specific points

• Yellow containers have retro-reflective tape along both long edges

Gameplay (Teleoperated)

• 2 minute 15 second teleoperated period• Scoring

–Scored gray tote: 2–Scored recycling container: 4 per level–Litter scored in/on recycling container: 6 per recycling container

–Litter scored in landfill: 1–Unprocessed litter: 4 to opposing alliance–Coopertition set: 20 for each alliance–Coopertition stack: 40 for each alliance

Gameplay (Teleoperated)

• Yellow totes can only be used for Coopertition points

• Gray totes only gain points when placed on scoring platform; can be placed on Coopertition step

• Coopertition stack overrides points from Coopertition set

• Coopertition stack must only be standing for 3 seconds to receive points

Gameplay (Teleoperated)

• Game pieces in a scoring position but definitely or possibly supported by robot award no points
