Design

Driver #1's side of controls will be able to slide to the right and cover the laptop. This provides for narrow controls for transport. This will have a lock to is doesn't accidentally slide apart during transport.

The intent is to have a simple release mechanism.

Handles on each end for carrying.


2 joysticks for driver #1

  • Y-axis: move robot forward/backwards
  • X-axis: move robot left/right
  • trigger: shift?
  • button 2: lower center wheel


1 joystick for driver #2

  • Y-axis: move lower grip up/down; controls speed of movement
  • trigger: pulled means lower grips are closed (if needed, flip broken switch which means click trigger to close)
  • trigger: released means lower grips are open (if needed. flip broken switch which means click button 2 to open)
  • button 4: close upper grips
  • button 5: open upper grips
  • button 3: possibly use for 'level 3' preset, so tote is high enough to put on top of 2 totes created by human player
  • button 6 (or 8): pull RC grabber back in
  • button 7 (or 9): release RC grabber to get can
  • button 6/7: could be used for presets (means 8/9 used for RC grabber)


N broken switches


1 3-way toggle for autonomous

  • up: a pre-picked auto-mode
  • center: no auto
  • down: use auto-mode that is selected on SmartDashboard


Future Use

  • 3-way toggle for future use (maybe picking which driver opens/closes grips)
  • TBD


Laptop for Dashboard
