Other Technical information. Please read and observe.
Ensure you are using the latest software and firmware:
It's important to you and your alliance partners that you are using the latest software and firmware versions. The software version is for the Apps you are running on the Driver Station (DS) and Robot Controller (RC). The Firmware version refers to the code running on your REV expansion hubs. The latest versions will help to keep your robot hardware connected under extreme game conditions.
How to test:
Setup your robot, and connect your phones as if you were ready to run.
On the driver station, use the three dots menu to choose Self Inspect.
Select the Robot Controller Inspection.
Verify the following versions:
App: 4.3
Firmware 1.8.2
Now repeat with the Driver Station Inspection
Verify the following versions:
App: 4.3
If your apps are not up to date, either connect to the Google Play store and update them, or load the latest SDK into your Android Studio project.
Reduce your power requirements
Power will be rationed in the pits. Each pit will be provided with ONE outlet, so please bring a small power strip. Find one with a light so you know that it’s on and powered. Make sure it has your team number on it.
Assume that you can only use your laptop, phone chargers and two 12V battery chargers in the pit. Don’t bring other equipment like 3D printers or Large screens. If you have/need more chargers, there will be a charging station off to one side of the pits. There will also be power outlets in the queuing area for topping off your phones. Make sure all your items are labeled with your team number, in case you misplace them.
Pit Space allocations.
Each pit will be 9’x9’ square with a 9’x3’ table space and several chairs. Please do not bring large pit structures or tall banners that stand on the floor. Try to keep displays located on your tables. Pits will be back-to-back and in rows so please chat with your neighbors.
Since we would like to limit the amount of hard debris left on the gym floors,we are requesting that teams avoid using cutting tools (drills, files, saws etc. ) in their pits. We will provide a side location where this type of work can be performed. We request that teams do their construction work there, and then clean up after themselves (bring a hand sweeper). This is our way to respect our Garrett College hosts and make them eager to invite us back next year.
