To Do List Update

By Tycho, Max, Jayesh, Omar, Janavi, and Evan

Task: Update our To Do List

Sensors

• CDIM #2 on right side
• color and distance sensors on right side
• ultrasonic sensors
• can we get rid of distance sensors?
• omnidirectional travel sensor based on trackball
• omnidirectional travel sensor based on I2c mouse

Autonomous

• simplify approach path to wall
• simplify beacon detection
• second beacon
• compute distance before slowing down
• alt config to bypass a non-working beacon if it's the first
• pointed at gap between beacons, drive until touching, square with imu, check / adjust distance with ultrasonic

Authonomous with Vision

• More team members than Tycho study Fixit3491 videos 4 thru 7
• Integrate OpenCV 3.2 back into app
• done
• Integrate Vuforia sample
• done
• Get image from Vuforia into OpenCV
• in progress
• stuck with bug
• Camera mount tweaking to get best vision line
• Does wide angle work with Vuforia configuration
• Real Vuforia based auto navigation
• OpenCV beacon analysis from Vuforia beacon localization

Particle Launcher / Flywheel + Rail Type

• New grippy custom printed flywheel design
• complete
• Custom flywheel printed and assembled
• done
• 3 versions
• nylon, open ninjaflex, dense ninjaflex
• Rail design - done
• Rail print - done
• High speed motors - aquired
• Frame and mount rails, flywheel and motor - in progress
• Particle Release Gate and Servo mounting
• Presentation narrative and blog updates - tie in with earlier design iterations

Cap Ball Fork Lift

• Replace lift spool with double lift+retract spool made from Tetrix track guide wheels
• Add slides for fork support
• Add pulleys for retract spool
• Add deployment servo
• Fabricate folding fork
• Figure out fork release by hyperextension
• Can we retract cleanly?
• Can we refold? CR servo reeling in a refold line might do the trick.
• Code to support these capabilities

Robot Reveal Video V1 - Shot List

• Intro Sequence - half second shots of robot driving into frame from overhead, right side, front
• Mecanum Freedom - high overhead shot of robot going forward, strafing, diagonal, turning
• Particle Collector - close up short shots of collector running from side and from front
• Particle Collector - Pulling in a particle - muliple angles (can one of these be done with a dolly shot of moving particle?)
• Particle POV - camera on mat - robot strafes into view, engages collector and drives over camera until camera is at accumulator lift
• Particle Collector - shot from under the robot sitting on polycarb, camera under the polycarb at the rear of the robot lookup up, seeing a particle pulled in, guided by funnel and loaded into accumulator
• Particle Collector - Automatic Opposing Alliance Particle Rejection
• Particle Collector - Machine Vision Based Automatic Tracking and Collecting Behavior
• Particle POV - running up accumulator lift - not sure if this is possible without animation
• Shooting - with flywheel - wide shot of 4 balls coming out
• Shooting - close up of Particle Release Gate
• Shooting - close up of Particles cycling through Launcher while off of robot
• Shooting - close up of Particles landing in the vortex or on an accuracy marker
• Cap Ball Lift Deployment
• Cap Ball Lift Capture
• Cap Ball Lift Raising
• Cap Ball Lift Depositing
• Cap Ball Lift Retracting
• IMU Close up + 90 degree turn + station keeping behavior(on black turntable; make shot from above)
• Navigation - Calibrated Odometry in both normal drive and strafing
• Combined high accuracy Heading and Odometry with Trig = absolute field position (close up of telemetry, plus overhead view of a navigation sequence)
• Autonomous - high speed of entire sequence - replace with machine vision version when available
• Autonomous - machine vision localization of beacon targets - phone camera capture
• Autonomous - beacon isolation and analysis - phone camera capture
