FIRST Robotics Competitions

The FIRST Robotics Competition helps young people discover how rewarding engineering and research can be. The competition challenges teams of high school students and their mentors to solve a common problem in a limited time frame using a standard kit of parts and a common set of rules. Each team builds robots and enters them into local, regional and international events.

Still Alive - CARDS Both I and the project are still alive. I'm wrapping up my last few weeks of school, and then I plan on diving back into CARDS. Planned features include: - Integration of the video system into the main dashboard system. - Improved video system using pixel shader for better display of overlays. - Force feedback support using DirectInput Matthew Kline - 05/28/2010 1:36 PM EDT

LabView Repository Created - Bobotics ADK Anyone looking to work on the LabView ADK in parallel with the Java and C++ ADKs, there is a repo available for that. The first step would be to translate the current architecture from Java to LabView cheers Michael Tidd - 05/19/2010 3:03 PM EDT
