Re: Robo-Cross B
1. Aim to do the best you can with what you have! You're probably past the point where you should cut your losses. Decide what parts of the task you can do with the time and resources you have.how to finish and test a robot in 5 days
2. Don't waste time asking for a handout here. It's impossible to give an easy solution in "25 words or less". Much depends on your resources/knowledge/capabilities.
3. Brainstorm a basic strategy/plan. Include your partner in the planning and decision making process. Divide up the task so you can both work on different parts simultaneously.
4. Figure out what the robot needs to do to accomplish your plan.
5. Assess what resources you have available (motors/gearboxes radio controls, servos, etc.)
6.Get an attitude adjustment instead of complaining about your partner,

Re: Robo-Cross B
yea if you are using vex make sure you change the crystals in the robot and the controlleryousmellchinese123 wrote:What happens when you replace he crystals?
All it does is change the frequency at which it is used right?

And that is because it will be a very common frequency I assume?robotman09 wrote:yea if you are using vex make sure you change the crystals in the robot and the controlleryousmellchinese123 wrote:What happens when you replace he crystals?

Re: Robo-Cross B
no if you dont change both you will get very mad that your robot wont respond because it look for a different frequancey than the controller is giving out

Re: Robo-Cross B
But Vex sells its controller and robot frequency modules that coresppond don't they. The numbers do match.

Re: Robo-Cross B
My team's run from state. Enjoy.
We were not to far behind 2nd place but very far behind first place which scored 366 I believe. I would have liked to see that run.
