Awesome Job. I might suggest that the handles/positioning might want to move to front and back from left to right. Kept seeing adjustments being made from outside the wall. Pretty sure that is not allowed.
Indeed. However, we have had occasional blips with this method in the past that have cost us matches. A set of physical switches on the robot, plus the LED feedback, lets the entire team feel empowered to check that our auto mode is correct before the match, not just the person who is setting up the driver station. We believe this increases the ownership over this critical setting and produces a more reliable system.
Sure! This is happening in our GetAutonomousCommand method in RobotContainer. See github.com/TripleHelixProgramming/ChargedUp/blob/main/src/main/cpp/RobotContainer.cpp#L77-L104
We are currently using video from only 1 camera plugged in in each match, but we have 3 cameras installed on the robot. See our full BOM here: team2363.org/2023/03/genome-xi-2023-bom/

that LED feature is so crazy convenient, i hope the field crew understands the engineered luxury theyre in
I love how accessible your electrical and pneumatics panels are. Super well organized and laided out.
Good job! Great use of vision and LEDs for runtime status/calibration.

Thanks for the comment! It's a good point, and we discussed the issue in training following the video.
That’s amazing!! I’m curious how are you guys controlling the LEDs?
Thanks! We are using this library: docs.wpilib.org/en/stable/docs/software/hardware-apis/misc/addressable-leds.html
The robot knows where it is because it knows where it isnt
lol
wow, awesome way to select autos, what is that switch that you turned to change autos called?
Thanks! We're using a single pole 10-postion rotary switch to select between the auto modes.
@@TripleHelix2363Do you guys have a link to the switch you used in the video?
Switch: www.amazon.com/uxcell-Split-Positions-Rotary-Switch/dp/B008MJWTN2/
Knob: www.amazon.com/uxcell-Insert-32x19x16mm-Plastic-Potentiometer/dp/B07JN52VWW/
0:10 the allience switch isn’t really necessary. The API will give you what alliance you are on based on the FMS

Do you guys have example code that connects the switch with the Autons?
Sure! This is happening in our GetAutonomousCommand method in RobotContainer. See github.com/TripleHelixProgramming/ChargedUp/blob/main/src/main/cpp/RobotContainer.cpp#L77-L104
What cameras and how many cameras your using on your robot?
We are currently using video from only 1 camera plugged in in each match, but we have 3 cameras installed on the robot. See our full BOM here: team2363.org/2023/03/genome-xi-2023-bom/
How do you run code before autonomous starts? Doesn't wpilib restrict that?
You can't give power to the motors, servos and actuators. Vision, LEDs, and all that stuff is unrestricted
Is there a specific reason you are not using spendable choser?

Just curious, is this switch competition legal?
Can you think of a reason it wouldn't be legal?
