Show HN: High school robotics code/CAD/design binder release

#1
Hello HN!

My name is Patrick, and I am a junior at my High School’s FRC robotics team FRC 341 “Miss Daisy” (yes named after the movie). Every year, during the first weekend in January, a new robotics game is released (no it’s not battlebots). The game could be about launching balls into a goal, climbing monkeybars, or placing cubes on a see-saw. This year we were challenged to build a robot that could shoot orange foam donuts into a goal about 6 feet in the air. Here is a yt video with the game animation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9keeDyFxzY4&t. After we received the game we then had six weeks to design, build, program, and field a robot capable of playing the game. And we did pretty well this year! I have attached a ChiefDelphi thread (robotics forum) where we have released our season materials. This being our CAD (3D model of robot), code, and design binder. I encourage you to take a look and leave any questions that you may have.

Thanks a lot!

I haven’t read through the binder yet but I appreciate you cross posting this to HN because the work many FRC teams do is excellent for a bunch of high schoolers and deserves more visibility. Good luck, next season is just around the corner.

Thanks! I am excited to see what the new game is.

I sincerely hope the next game is rocket league

That would be really cool! There was something kind of like that in 2010, you had to score soccer balls in goals. But there were these obstacles on the field and poles you could climb at the end for extra points. It was called breakaway.
