@ajs20had an frc team meeting today! in addition to having some new prospective members, we focused on getting ready for sunset showdown (an offseason competition on the USS Hornet). our main issue is that the beam-break sensors we use don’t work well in the sun, so we tried a few things to fix it. we 3d printed some shrouds for the sensors (first pic) that have little flanges to stop light from refracting inside. we also tried putting aluminum foil around the recievers (second pic) to try and stop the radiation. the foil didn’t work as well as the new shrouds did. we also got a new member trained on the cnc working on a personal project (3rd pic)
@Miles0It's possible that I failed 100 days in public on day one so, so we're gonna try this again lmao (I hope that's allowed)
#100-days-in-public Day 1
Today and I'm with my robotics team competing at states. Yesterday there was 55 qualifying matches, and currently my team is ranked 5th in the tournament :D. Today we are finishing up qualifying matches and then finals.
@EvanGan0Day 50 of #100-days-in-public.
No project progress today, wasn't able to get any internet. I did however go to the New England first championship with my team. I was on pit crew for a while and helped prep the robot for matches. While I was on pit crew, I got a photo of our polycarbonate climber arms that I worked on and the stress fractures that formed within them.

As I predicted yesterday I had no time to work on my project today, as I was at the BSU FRC competition. Our robot worked pretty well and we only broke a little bit.
@Kieran0day 10 of #10-days-in-public! we've done it! today I mostly coded for my teams robot and got shooting, climbing, and arm elevation working! I also submitted a garmin developer api request and did some dev tools sluthing to find the unoffical apis for integration with my website. to bask in the glory of a whole 10 days completed you can still view stats at m.kieranklukas.com/s/10daysinpublic including detailed stats per user at m.kieranklukas.com/s/10daysinpublic/userid@EvanGan0Day 8 of #10-days-in-public.
Today I worked on a side project, but did pick out a button for my PCB after learning about different types of buttons. The side project I worked on is a program to get all the match data in FRC history from The Blue Alliance. With that program I wrote I found that the red alliance has 98404 win's and the blue alliance has 86987 win's as of me last running it in 2023. Once this robotics season is over I want to use it to find some statistics and try to predict scores for future games. I have attached I attached the output(named "nodeTestOutput") from when I ran it in post 2023 season and the program that I wrote to create the data dump.
@ajs20#10-days-in-public day number i forgot :p
robots robots robots. we have an arm with PD position control, and a new drivebase (not pictured)@Kieran0limelight!
@Kieran0crunching the digital animation award edit for #frc! been working since 5:30 which is quite early for me
@Kieran0lost my scrapppy streak cause' i forgot to post last night but: yesterday i worked on #purple-bubble with @jdogcoder and @polypixeldev, i also filed a video a flew my drone, and had a productive robotics meeting.
@ajs20Some number of days remain until 2024. I’m working on a simple PCB whose use is a bit hard to explain (check #alex-needs-a-better-name-for-their-channel) but will be very useful in FRC. Hopefully I’ll be able to use #onboard to get it fabbed!

@polypixeldev0Didn't do much today but found out that I'll be attending my first FRC team meeting this saturday, so enjoy this high-quality FIRST logo!
#100-days
@sam0Was too busy the past weekend to post. I went to another
FIRST Robotics Competition in North Bay, Ontario. Super fun, super tiring. It was exciting, despite the challenges we faced I think we did great! Now 🤞 fingers crossed we'll make it into District Championships.
The shirts were quite cool!
First Robotics meeting (for this year) today, epic!
Don't have photos... So here's my history homework that I have to do...
@linus0#10-days-in-public update before I fully crash from the coffee and Fanta. Second day of the frc comp was super fun, we finished 7th out of 31 teams and were the 5th seed alliance captains! In the end we forced a tiebreaker match.
@linus0Another day of #10-days-in-public (I’ve lost count lol)! First day of the robotics competition, was pretty fun!
