The challenge

Precision matters in FRC.

Our approach

Team 867 has used Limelight vision cameras together with PID control to automatically align our robot with scoring locations on the field. Rather than depending completely on a driver’s reaction time, the robot uses information from its camera to continuously calculate its position error and correct its movement.

Future development

Our Controls team wants to continue expanding computer vision and localization.

Future development includes experimenting with AI-based vision to better identify field geometry and corners, improving the robot’s understanding of its position, and potentially strengthening odometry and autonomous movement.
