There are three videos on FRC Mastery about this year’s FIRST Robotics competition.
The first video is a tutorial about the base autonomous code, and also a brief demonstration showing how it works.
The second video is about how the 2011 Vision Example program works.
The third video is about integrating the 2011 Vision Example program, and how to program the robot to center itself on the game poles in autonomous mode.
Stay tuned for more FRC tutorials to come.
I saw this video last night and thought it worthy enough to repost here.
It’s a great example of thinking differently and producing something awesome.

Adobe Flash is a wonderful program that works for all browsers and the flash video can be stretched and altered according to the screen. I learned a bit of flash in grade 10 (which was a long long time ago!), and I did Adobe Flash cs2 … Back in those days, we did not use action script for flash. It was very simple. All we did was create some e-cards where objects fly across the screen. Oh and did I mention that connecting buttons to another scene was really simple back in those days!
And then came Adobe Flash cs4, where we have 3 DIFFERENT kinds of action script: Action Script 1.0, Action Script 2.0, and Action Script 3.0. Action Script is like a type of programming language, in fact it’s very similar to c++ in a way. When creating my first flash project in Adobe Flash cs4 I thought the action script didn’t matter and that all three action scripts behave the same. So on the first try, I did action script 3.0. I did some animations, and it turned out to be better than what I expected. But then came the linking. Linking each buttons to the next scene… now that was a battle. I kept on getting errors whenever I compile the flash movie. I was (metaphorically of course) climbing up the walls.
You see the flash buttons did not work at all. I checked the coding online and it was the same. Then I was reading on what the experts say. They said that if you are linking buttons to the next scene then do not use Action Script 3.0, and Action Script 3.0 should be used if you’re linking frames. Okay, so I was like if I change action scripts then I can link the buttons to the next scene and everything would be perfect. Boy was I wrong! I changed from Action Script 3.0 to Action Script 1.0 and then a pop-up appears stating that some of the animations are now disabled since Action Script 1.0 does not support the bone tool, used for enhanced animations. So I had to recreate some of the animations, and on top of that the buttons still did not work. -_- I got fed up with the information that the internet gave me, so I decided to use one of the utilities that will never turn you down… books! I borrowed about 3 books on Adobe Flash cs4 and I was reading and reading and doing some of the practice tutorials. Finally, I was able to link the buttons to the next scene. I thought I will never have said this … but THANK GOD FOR BOOKS! = D
