FRR had a meeting up at Joe's house in Ft. Collins last night. I had the pleasure of meeting a bunch of great guys and each of their firefighting robots is really impressive. The competition should be an absolute blast.
Accomplishments:
- Threw together the new robot just in time to hit the road
- Got everything wired up
- IR ranger testing in the competition maze
- Adapted most of the code from Sparky
- Lit hair on fire
Tip for the aspiring firefighting robot builder: don't lean over your robot when there is a lit candle in front of it. If you hear a strange sound that is a combination of sizzling bacon and electrical sparking, it is actually the sound of your hair burning. :|
To do:
- Extend battery wires
- Rework top deck for clearance
- Route wires cleanly
- Boat tons of programming
- Get a haircut
you should post a picture of your newly styled (sizzled) hair ;)
