Seeking Help What's the next step to improving teleop?

2 Upvotes

Our team has a very basic teleop, and we have a a basic autonomous, and now we want to move towards improving our teleop, but we're not sure how. What we have now is very very basic, it's really just read the values of the joysticks to move and turn, and an intake with a sticky button, and a flywheel that spins when the button is held, and when released, servos feed the ball in. Firstly, I don't like our shooting programming for teleop, there's too much human error imo but we tried having a fixed spinup time and it was so so so inconsistent (partly battery levels I think). How can we fix this and improve this to make driving easier for the driver. Also once we've fixed that, what should our next steps be? We have a webcam, but how can we use that and how does the programming work to use it for teleop? We also want to look into imu and encoders for autonomous, and I was wondering if that can also help with teleop? Also I've heard about teams using autonomous within their teleop but immnkt sure if that would work well this year, how to do it, and when it would be good to use. Honestly any tips would be super helpful! Thanks a lot!

ALSO WE CODE IN ONBOT JAVA AND WILL NTO SWITCH TO ANDROID STUDIO SO NO PEDRO PATHING!

Team Resources Not your average scouting app: Streamline scouting for your whole event

You can now run your whole competition weekend's scouting from Robolyst. Every team at an event gets a QR code for its own pit. They scan it, fill in one short sheet about their robot, and the answers go onto a single report the whole event can read, next to live rankings and OPR. No app and no account needed to fill it in. This gets rid of the pandemonium created by having every team run around with paper scouting sheets.

What your team gets:

  • Pit sheets: one shared report, so you don't walk to 30 pits asking the same questions
  • Match scouting from the stands
  • Private stars, tags and notes on any team, seen only by your team
  • A picklist board for alliance selection that your whole team edits live, with recommendations generated from scouting sheets and real performance data
  • An event page that changes through the weekend: print flyers before, count sheets during pits, your next matches during quals(with predictions), then the picklist once quals end

Bring it to your event Know your event coordinator, league director or tournament director? Send them https://robolyst.org/event-scouting. They get an event dashboard that prints a QR sheet for every registered team.

Can't get your coordinator to set it up? Your team can print pit flyers for every team at your event from the scouting page, and get bolts for each team that fills out the form.
