FRC Control System Overview |
|
Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ) The heart of the Innovation First FRC Control System is the Operator Interface and the Robot Controller. The Operator Interface takes input from the robot operators and passes it to the Robot Controller through the Radio Modems. The Robot Controller takes this information, gathers additional information from sensors on-board the robot, determines how the robot should function, and instructs the robot to perform the functions. The Robot Controller also sends data back to the Operator Interface, giving the robot operators feedback of critical information. The Innovation First control system uses a unique "Team Number" identification to ensure safe and reliable human to robot communication. Users enter their team number via dipswitches on the Operator Interface. Both units use this number as a unique identifier, ensuring that all communications received are actually "theirs". The Operator Interface has a "Competition" connector designed specifically for connecting the system to the playing field at competitions. This connection sets the radio to one of 35 competition only channels, provides power, and even starts and stops the robot during matches.
