Hello All, Very cool !!!. I wonder if there will be an "alternative fuel" aspect to the robot itself such as have solar panels as part of the parts...that will...
... Thanks, that was helpful to get me started. I don't anticipate having a long variable loop time, so I think the use of the RealTime clock is overkill for...
... This is much simpler. I probably should go through mine and condense it but I thought I would throw you something quick that would work. Just out of...
... // cc3 is just a counter from 0 .. speed3 short in_3, out_3, cc3, speed3; A ~90 degree servo swing for an input of 0-1000 is ~0.9 degree each. Changing the...
// provide clock ticks at increment: 9/450=> 0.02 sec #define RESET_CLK (9) This is line 41 and 42 of bestusrutil.c. I don't think BEST allows this code to be...
A couple comments ... You are welcome to change the user libraries at your own risk. Hub personnel and/or BEST cannot support customized libraries. Changing...
... Terry, I agree I shouldn't have used floating point numbers. The optimal solution would probably be to use the full range of int to specify servo positions...
... Make that 0.09 degrees each, so moving a servo_position by 9 would be 1 degree = 1/90th of full swing. These servos probably don't support more accuracy...
Hello everyone! I am actually coming down to the wire on this one, and I really would appreciate someone bailing me out! I need a program for the Brain that...
... Hey Joey, I'm glad to see I won't be the only one there without much driving practice. I previously posted this whole program under subjects including the...
Do any of you know if the BEST Teacher Workshop "tentatively" scheduled for next Friday, 8/7, at Univ. of N. Texas is going to happen? Gaylen **************Hot...
Thanks! Â Gaylen for the information I am New and had not even heard of that meeting! can you confirm it will happen or is there a point of contact i need to...
I talked to Monica, CoCoBEST's team coordinator, yesterday but she wasn't sure if the workshop was still on or not. The website lists it as "tentative" for...
Below is a message from Tom Fitzmaurice at UNT - As of July 31, they were still looking for more participants and needed sign up by Tuesday, August 4th. ... On...
... Hi, I know this is not timely, but my students have had good luck making gears by gluing a template to the wood stock and cutting them out on a scroll saw....

Hi, The Aluminum 6061 T-6 flat metal bar, (0.5" X 6" X 24"). My team has used it for motor to drive wheel attachment in the past, but they want to try and make...
Does anyone know a supplier for the brush assembly or the terminal for the large Globe Motor? The gearbox was loose on ours, allowing the motor to rotate and...
Our team has been working with Globe Motors to obtain spare motors to keep our robot operational after the competition. The price to purchase these motors from...
We found the motors on e-bay for less. Also, we were able to borrow a returnable kit from our hub in between season. Gaylen In a message dated 9/16/2009...
You may want to check with your hub about buying used motors. They may have some that 'work' but aren't in shape to be reissued. If you only want to keep the...
Just to make sure, if you received 0.5" x 6" x 24" from your hub, they messed up. It is only 6"x6" as shown on the official consummable kit list. Did you get...
Please let me know which hub you are at. Your hub SHOULD already know how to get with me on motor replacements. BRI can get them significantly lower than...
... Our team is also looking to buy extra motors and all the other returnables to keep all of our robots running. I would hope that BEST would come up with...
We compete with Music City Best. They gave us a replacement motor and were very gracious about it. My concern is repairing the broken motor. There is no need...
The design isn't really all that bad. Most motors get damaged from incorrect mounting. The motors (both large and small) should only be mounted via the...
Everyone, A while ago (last year) I saw a BRAIN simulator. Well since then I've had some HDD issues and lost it. Anyone know anything? Thanks, The Woodlands...
Hello Everyone, this is a great group, but we need to be very careful what is said here before every hub has had their kickoff days. There are still several...
Sorry about starting that thread that could potentially give things away. I was trying to be as cryptic as possible and wouldn't have posted a question to the...
