#PiWars 2019

Let's Roll...

It’s that time of year again. Jimmy Alexander Here...
As CNM students are starting up the 5th week of classes, the Solar Cat’s Team is starting up our now yearly #PiWars Robotics fun!  We have started setting up additional meeting times so that we can work on creating the BEST ROBOT EVER!!!!!!! As we are just getting started we do not have a whole lot to update everyone on, but we decided we would give a brief overview of some of the ideas we have come up with so far.

Ideas: (NOTE: Some(most) of these ideas will not make it past the planning stage)
  • Using RFID to create keys that automatically load up a program so we do not have to log onto the computer and pull up a given program
  • Localized GPS
  • Track wheels
  • Mecanum wheels
  • Laser Sensors
  • TOP SECRET LAUNCHING DEVICE

Things we plan on keeping from last year’s robot:
  • Having our pi set up as a router for easy VNC use
  • Using a ps3 controller for manual control
  • Setting up modules for easily switching out parts between challenges
