The most enthusiastic programmers I've ever met (6502 Darc Side)

This past spring I attended the FRC North Carolina State Championships and got to talk to a bunch of the teams. If you've never heard of FIRST Robotics, you're in for a real treat, because this competition is AWESOME. (If you haven't seen the hub video for all these interviews, check it out first! • The annual engineering... )
These teams, thousands of them, have only about 2 months to design, build, and test robots to play a brand new game before the competitions begin, and then their work is put to the test! It would be a lot for any professional engineer, but these kids are still in high school! It's pretty incredible.
This video is the complete pit interview with FIRST Team 6502. Enjoy!

Wow! This programmer is so enthusiastic! It’s so nice to hear that he was able learn so much in two years of robotics. I was in FRC too and I programmed for all 4 years, and I didn’t learn how to do even a quarter of how to do this stuff! He must have an amazing coach or an insane work ethic. Thank you for making these videos, it has been so enjoyable being able to visit the pits again.

@fourthpanda Жыл бұрын

To make one of these robots is about $3000 in parts, not including cost to manufacture like CNC or laser cutting parts. (Although most teams in FRC don't have the manufacturing capabilities that those in these videos and at the competition do. You just don't see the lower half of the population of teams because they never get coverage because they are not at as many prestigious events.) Alot of that cost comes from the almost proprietary electronics though. If you were to use different motor controllers and onboard computer you could probably cut the cost significantly.

@FiltyIncognito Жыл бұрын

There are ways around the retail expense, for the most part. People throw away a lot of still very usable components. Collect junk, take it apart and store the electrical/mechanical components and materials. Eventually you end up with a big enough bank of stuff that you can start putting together some fun and useful gadgets. There are, of course, some things that'll be harder to find than others.

@@-BarathKumarS also keep in mind that that's to start from scratch. Alot of teams reuse parts from previous years. Although the richy rich teams can afford to keep their previous robots intact which I'm so jealous of.

What goes down is very impressive. I would say this team in particular because they are a relatively newer team and don't have nearly as much grandfathered in equipment and knowledge. (That's a huge part of what makes alot of teams good.)

The 6502 died long before any of the parents of any of these kids ever met. My first desktop was an original Apple ][ 16K. I spent tons of money upgrading that craprod. Learned how to do assembly, BASIC, and Pascal all on that box. Motorola paid me to create test equipment based on Apple ][s, if you can believe that. Never made any money at all with my knowledge of Pascal, but the assembly and BASIC made me plenty later on. Heh.

In similar competitions I realised, that it's way better to not be that overengineered cuz more can break, even if the things work they don't work as great as if you have a compact solution and its way harder to add a feature if you got a great idea

There's a lot you can say about Elon Musk, but his "The best part is no part" strategy with SpaceX is solid. If you can do the job without complexity, get rid of the complexity

On the other hand, if you can perfect every component, you end up with a superior product. This team ended up being able to shoot for points while being rammed. As long as the bot can last 10 min without issue, that's fine.
