PROGRAMMING

Our programming system involves the Java programming language in the IDE known as Android Studio. The Autonomous portion of our game strategy is to detect a Skystone, bring it to the foundation, and bring the foundation to the Build Site. After the robot acquires one skystone, it travels back under the bridge to grab the other skystone (or a random block, depending on skystone placement), and deliver it across. Due to inconsistencies in the field and the environment in general including alliances, we are unable to achieve a level of 1%-2% margin of error. To consistently detect the skystones, we use LogiTech 720p Web Cameras incorporating Computer Vision. We use a distance sensor to increase accuracy in our movements and strafes. Other sensors we use are Magnetic Limit Switches to prevent physical breakage and a REV Expansion HUB IMU to assist rotational navigation.
