We have a problem that when we conect servo extensions they disconect very easy so i want to know if there is way to set them from keeping disconecting. thanks

(when i said set i mean like fijar idk how its in english)

Our robot has been work flawlessly so far this season, but after our last competition our robot has suddenly been acting up. I recently improved the code, no now instead of handing two specimens we hand three.

Sometimes it will run well, other times the robot will start spinning, or only go forward an inch when it needs to go forward 22 inches. We didn't have this problem before.

Our robot uses odo and endcoders, the only thing we have changed recently was the wiring. Our wiring was a mess, it used to be one big lop of wires. So we organised it into sleeves. After we tested our old code (hanging two clips) and it worked. But now it doesn't work. We type out our code (Idk the exact term, IK some people use block coding but we don't) Please help ;-;

It seems as though teams frequently struggle with managing time all throughout the season. Usually, at least for my team, mechanical gets the robot for the first 70% of the year and we do at least 50% of the programming right before competitions, as that's the only time where we get the robot without any mechanical work taking up meeting time. How do you all solve this problem?

Want to quickly find all match videos for a team? Or find that one match in a 13 hour long Youtube video, which might not be split into separate matches?

Try ftcvideos.org!

Easily access ALL videos for any team (or even a combination of teams, if you want to narrow search results), top matches by region, latest FTC matches, and more! All you need to do is just type in the team number(s).

Note that this website is still under development, and may have some issues. It might not have all match videos on Youtube, so please contact me if you found an FTC event video that is not on the site yet.

Hello everyone! We were just curious if there was any way to increase the speed of our robot during autonomous? For context, we are using 3 gobilda odom pods with 4 312 rpm motor drivetrain. We are also using roadrunner 1.0. The attached screenshot shows a way in which we can increase the speed but we are wondering if that will mess up our tuning or not? Any help would be appreciated as we are just short of 1-2 seconds of getting our 4th specimen in auto.

Edit: Here is the screensho

Just as described in the title, we just got a REV servo hub and when we power on the robot initially, everything's fine. However, when we enable an opmode and then disable it, the servos we used in he opmode go to an ambiguous position and stay there until the opmode is started again or until the robot is turned off. Everything was working fine without the servohub and we have no code that is telling it to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

For context, I'll be a 9th grader next year I'm learning python and c++ and know cad modeling pretty well as I taught myself. I was on the team this year and don't have nay actual experience on robotics teams. Pls help me.

I know it may be a bit early but what do y'all think next year's game going to be

My team got a huge influx of programming members, and this made me realize that i should really overhaul the entire file.

I want to make a DriveTrain and Mechanism Hardwareclass, and i think i have a general idea? Just looking for some pointers or examples.

Hi, i just finished calibrating roadrunner 1.0 with 3 odometry wheels, the problem is when I run the spline test, on the robot it seems like it is working good but on the dashboard field is not, i attached 2 videos where you can see it happen, also in the shorter video, you can see what happens if I try to tune manual feedback tuner. https://we.tl/t-OD1W95ZPXf

Nice to note: kids 6+ are welcomed.

I mentor a team that has Swyft servos. The Swyft servo programmer is sold out and we need to change settings using the programmer.

Does anyone in Colorado or northern Colorado have access to one of these programmers that we can buy, or does anyone know another way to program these servos? Possibly using an arduino or something similar?

Has any team used DR4B or DR6B for the FTC? If so, could you tell me about the experience, whether it was good or bad, possible defects and qualities you have in the system?

Making this post on the bus on our way home, but I’m apart of team #25680 Pot-O’Gold and I’m very proud to say we were apart of the winning alliance with team #11329 ICE Robotics. We were at the Greenwood Qualifying tournament today, our third competition. (Above is a goofy pic of our robot on the way to the event.) Feel free to discuss here, offer advice, ask questions, etc. So happy to be apart of this community.

Just curious..

How do we get a gobuilda servo to stop unscrewing itself. My team is having that issue and we don't know how to stop that. Anything will be helpful.

Can we use freeze spray for overheating servos?

Hello I’m mentor of team 23619 and 26381 we are one week away for our first event. We are facing a weird bug / error which happens every time we need to restart the robot from the Driver Hub. Restarting the robot by turning it off and on again fixes the issue. The error claims there is a communication error with the IMU via the I2C. This is weird because our IMU is internal in the Control Hub. Has anyone faced the same issue and is there any fix?

So I'm using Two Wheel Rev Odopods I made myself and whenever I run the Straight Back and Forth Program and just barely touch the robot it starts quickly jittering even when I change my PIDF constants. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you!

Thanks everyone!

I'm volunteering at a comp an hour and a half away from where I live. I'm getting a ride with one of my coaches who lives 40 mintues away... so I wake up at 3:50 cause I'm a lazy idiot who likes her bed... 🫠

Oh did I mention I have in comp where I'm volunteering on Sunday? YEP

New to pinpoint. It seems like a nice drop-in solution. Code works and reports back values when moved by hand. x, y, have been tuned and heading reads correctly.

As soon as we add drive capability x and y work independently but heading does not. Asking for a simple 45 degree turn results in a consistent 135 degree.

Three of us have combed this all week. It reports correct values when the wheels are rolled manually but will not turn to a target position.

Any thoughts are helpful.
