Context: I still have the laptop I used for #FirstRobotics for 2006 and 2007 (maybe 2005), and it still has the complete development environment for those IFI controllers.

Sent kiddo off to #FRC state competition this morning. I’ll join him on Saturday. His team has qualified for World’s on the past but it’s been a minute. (First robotic competition). I’ll stream the matches when I have a few minutes.

2811 just got picked for Alliance 1 at #PNW #DCMP and I'm losing my mind right now. I have been saying for *months* that we built a fabulous defense bot. Drivers don't want to hear it (they want to score points). Now defense might just punch our ticket to #FRC Worlds.

Playoffs after lunch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3X4yqNg-88

I tell people about the #robotics club at my kids highschool, and I'm sure nobody imagines it like this. #frc behold, the "human player only match" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOnEQpFr5tw

I love the irony of a large team of humans resetting the field after every match for this season's #frc game.

On our way to the first week of #FIRST #Robotics Competition! Wish us luck.

The team has come up with an idea to manage the power consumption in a centralized manner. Each mechanism before doing anything would estimate how much power it's going to need in this iteration and reserve that amount at a central location. The kids now are working out an allocation algorithm that would process such reservation requests and distribute the power fairly according to mechanisms' importance.
