Beneath the ocean’s surface lies our planet’s most complex ecosystems, full of life and potential for exploration and learning, where each inhabitant has a role to play in building a thriving environment.

During the 2024-2025 FIRST® season, FIRST® DIVE℠ presented by Qualcomm, teams will use their STEM and collaboration skills to explore life beneath the surface of the ocean. Along the way, we’ll uncover the potential in each of us to strengthen our community and innovate for a better world with healthy oceans.

    THAT was an impressive match, pretty much a 1v3 against the Robonauts alliance. Excellent job! Read full topic

    Central Valley Regional Update Alliance 6! Design During practice we encountered an issue with our hopper being way too bouncy, which led to inconsistency while intaking from the coral station. To fix this issue, we decided to add a static-balancing mechanism mounted to the top of our A frame. Mechanical The day before going to CVR, we tested our climber and practiced different methods of climbing, such as going into the cage at an angle. While we were experimenting with the climber, our eye bolt attaching the spool to the climber arm got bent. To avoid this problem in the […]

    4/1 Update Our robot can…… CLIMB??? Robot before: Robot Now: Finalists at Los Angeles Regional! Design Climber Our climber, inspired by Team 4481, has been successfully tested at a practice field and is performing exceptionally well! During the design process, we encountered an issue where the chain would collide with the top rail of our elevator. To resolve this, we implemented an optimized climber design that extends outside our frame perimeter. This adjustment shifts the robot’s center of gravity (CG) forward, away from the elevator, preventing interference. To ensure the durability of our climber and support its motor, we integrated […]

    Champs travel arrangements are complete. So much nicer than last year when we qualified week 6. That’s the one thing I’m not looking forward to about CA districts next year. Read full topic

    michael_ma: We noticed a slight 0.4 second delay whenever we started an auto. We tracked it down to a massive loop overrun in the beginning of auto caused by setting all our motors to brake mode in autonomousInit(). Those are rookie numbers! We had a 0.75 second delay caused by the same issue. We fixed it by keeping the configuration for the motors in brake mode and using the CoastOut CTRE control mode when we want to coast while disabled (we have it set to coast 10 seconds after disable).

    3/21 Update Quick update since our students are swamped. We were finalists at the LA Regional as the first pick of the #2 alliance! We hope to be invited to Champs on 3/26 since we are currently rank 6 in the regional pool. Thanks to our alliance partners: Teams 7840 and 968! We are adding a deep climb for the Central Valley Regional, which is proving to be very challenging since we have limited internal volume and weight margin. Our final design is inspired by Team 4481’s climber. We have disassembled a significant portion of our robot and we will […]

    To address this issue, we decided to implement this refined logic, it has demonstrated a higher level of accuracy and precision. Note that we have visibility of the AprilTag throughout this entire maneuver due to our dual front cameras that are inset and offset to the scoring position for left/right branches. Read full topic

    3/10 Update Huge Shoutout to 9408 and 3476 for letting us use their fields for practice and tuning! Software LEDs The main uses of our LED indicators are to tell us when we have a coral secured in the robot and when auto driving is engaged. Having these LEDs makes debugging issues through video replay easier since we can see crucial robot state information. Additionally, when we’re disabled we have indicators to tell us when the zeroing button is pressed and when we’re in coast mode. LED Testing Autos Fixing Auto Delays: We noticed a slight 0.4 second delay whenever […]

    SideSwipe??? Swipe Scoring Logic: Swipe scoring Logic At certain moments, when we focus on removing the algae, we are unable to simultaneously score, which challenges our efficiency and accuracy during gameplay (particularly autos).

    2/18 – 2/24 Update We were able to achieve a new high score….. 14 Coral! Still pushing for 20! 14 Piece Cycle Electrical During testing, we noticed that our camera lenses were losing focus and affecting our april tag detection. We hot-glued the threads of our camera to lock the lens in place incase of collisions that could displace the focus of our camera. We also noticed that when the robot experienced a hard collision, the CANivore disconnected. We figured out the issue was with the USB-C connector and hot-glued it. Build While practicing at 4201, game pieces like coral […]

    2/10 – 2/17 Update Our robot name is…………….. TURBO!!! Last week we did a lot of robot testing and driver practice at practice fields and also made upgrades to the robot. Build Bellypan We replaced our steel bellypan to be polycarbonate, to reduce weight on our robot. Our new robot weight without bumpers is shown in this picture below! (Finally under the weight limit!) Bumpers We added standoffs that connect to our bended metal bumper brackets We also finished assembling our vanity bumper, and it weighs 13.90 pounds. Our competition bumpers will likely weigh a little more because we will […]

    It absolutely helps, as I noticed when we were tuning the elevator. We have two sensors. One sensor detects when coral is fully in the end effector, at which time we slow it down so we can stop it precisely when it clears the other sensor. Read full topic

    The robot was automatically rotating and maintaining heading using the gyro as it approached the reef and the coral station based on the operator button board selection. This allowed the driver to focus on eyeballing the left/right position. Read full topic

    My team’s week 1 event is at a venue with a lot of natural sunlight, likely making our vision inconsistent. I’m trying to work on my alignment skills, so I’ll see if perhaps having the coral sick more out of the end effector will help. Read full topic
