Psyche out your opponent with LEDs (8727 Glitch 2.0)

- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2022
- 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 8727. Enjoy!

When I saw mission critical RGB I thought they might be blasting the field with narrow bands of light to mess with color registers on other bots.
Blast green lights to mess with their other teams vision lol. Almost everyone uses the same vision system which uses green.
Mechanisms that purposely distract other robots or their operators are prohibited.
same actually LOL
Lmao we actually originally used green for our indications partially for that reason (also team color), but were told to switch to color by the inspectors.
@@skunkfac3 What, so I can't build a robot that launches tear gas canisters towards all the competitors? Smh, what's even the point then >:(
Aw man this is a huge nostalgia trip. I haven't thought of FIRST since high school robotics. We didn't have a lot of the tools we have access to now but the hacker spirit of making stuff work with what you have never fades.
wtf kind of highschool has a robotics class? man either you where going to a private school or the education system in my state sucks balls.
Then you had the most important part! 😁
When I saw an alpha Phoenix video about FRC, I wasn't expecting it to be about GLITCH!
Back when I was in high school I was on the original glitch team when it was founded
Wow. They mentally ripped apart every attribute and thought "what else could it do for us? What other parameters can it meet?"
That's extremely impressive.
Great questions, and great answers!
Cheers!
Very cool, I signed my kids up for the First Lego League after watching these videos.
Awesome! FLL is great too - I’ve reffed some FLL events in the past
@AlphaPhoenix To follow up, my kids attended the First Lego Explore Festival in Huntsville, AL today. They won the best solution to the Challenge award. We got to walk around the pits as well. Those are some serious robots these kids are building! Do they design it from scratch, or is there some structure in place already?
This didn't exist when I was in school. The best I had was a course in uni where we had to program a little "lego"-style robot to not run into a wall. I am SO jealous of today's kids.
I mean… if you went to school after 1992 frc existed
@@w4drone720 yeah but it was very rare. it was expensive, extremely time consuming for the mentors, and basically only in PNW
@@LR-qi9rj I mean, frc did takeoff in pnw but that was later. Most of the teams were located around the birthplace of first, in New Hampshire and surrounding states, and eventually California and then pnw
@@w4drone720 yeah thats mb i said the wrong region. was still isolated for a while tho
@@w4drone720 It's not just whether or not it existed, but where it was available and what the technology of the time could support.
We got out the legos at homeschool today so we can gear up for their lego league. 😁 thank for reminding us to look into joining.
As a 587 Alum, seeing any new eyes being brought into the scene is awesome!! Keep up the great content.
YES! I was hoping you’d do multiple videos on this trip.
I was a student on team 900, the Zebracorns. It was such an awesome experience going to these competitions.
Keep it up!
if youre fermiliar with the frc game for this year you probably know about the high level teams that can score like 5 balls in the autonomous period. when my team was in sacramento we cam across a rookie team that was nowhere near the level to do this and knew it, so instead of having a normal one or 2 ball auto like everyone else, they positioned themselves near the line and rolled their preloaded ball directly into the other teams area hoping to screw up their high performance auto. it usually worked
That’s my brother^^^ such a fun way to experience technology
(He’s the driver)
I was at unca and pembroke so I’m assuming this was the final one
osu! players going wild over the team number
I remember when my team cheesed a tournament by just jamming a ball into the corner of the arena
That’s my frc team :)
Ahh this brings me back. Glad to see no parents butting in on answers.
This is so cool!!! I wish our school got into stuff like this, but at least we did a Rube Goldberg design challenge
Start a team!
i do have to admit that i clicked on the video for the team's number rather than the content itself
Shout out to the Glitch 2.0 mascot 👻☂️
Don't know if they changed the name but back when it was the original glitch (team 5854) the mascots name was Enzo
@@JonathanKayne Yep the mascot is still Enzo and we've usually got someone in costume in the stands like you can see in the top left of this video: ruclips.net/video/Sj8mMXgCSOA/видео.html
This video desperately needs subtitles
The manufacturing capabilities from a rookie team like this is very impressive. I'm curious where they got that knowledge and equipment from. Believe me it ain't easy.
I’m a member of 8727, (programmed the neopixel indication toggle in 2022, moved to mechanical for next season). Glitch 1.0 was disbanded during Covid, but a few of its members (and mentors from spork) came to the new team! (Not enough members to qualify as the old team 5854). Also the team is hosted through our high school so we had access to many machines and people that know how to use them .
@@alexboniske4035 Oh dope! When I was on my team our highschool had no maker space or any shop classes or anything so we were going in completely blind lol.
Woot! Go team ninja!
do more of these
sweet!
man this is so awesome. i wish this existed in germany, but thatll sadly never happen
Team 3011 - RoboWarriors from APO, Hessen, Germany is the only German team that I know of. Looks like they havn't competed since the start of the pandemic. Most likely the team is gone forever.
kids are so dang smart these days 0_0
Raytheon and the women's medical center name a more iconic duo.
Wow.. this is impressive! Does this team have a mentor? Would love to see more of these videos!
With their level as a rookie team there is almost definitely alot of support behind the scenes. Kudos to all involved in getting such a strong start.
We had a few highly involved mentors, but our team is student lead. Last years robot was almost entirely cadded by seniors (high school team) (very few younger members were familiar with fusion360). We also had a very long build process so electrical and programming had to scramble before competition.
@@alexboniske4035 Thank you for commenting Alex. I am very impressed with how well the team did. Congratulations! I also really liked the ingenuity displayed by the members. All of the technical expertise required to get all the electronics and mechanisms working is quite a task. Well done!
What would you say were your top 3 obstacles?
@@marcfruchtman9473 Our team, especially programming had major issues with time, so out autonomous never got past a two ball auto (we were implementing a 4 ball path at states). We also discovered an issue with our drivetrain which had to much variability to do a complex autonomous path. My personal greatest obstacle was probably my lack of familiarity with c++ as well as my lack of understanding about the time commitment that FRC would be.
@@alexboniske4035 I wasn't expecting you to say C++... I sort of figured the programming language would be different. Time is a huge factor, especially when you have to figure stuff out as you progress. This field is pretty enormous... engineering, understanding electronics such as drives, power supplies etc, understanding controls, and then on to programming... so congrats on your group's successes and progress.
Hello from 4788 and 9065 from WA australia!

Obnoxious first comment that doesn't contribute meaningfully to the comments section.
Thank u
The acoustic is terrible
Stop complaining pleb
They are in a large room bro.. ofc it's not very good.
They're still perfectly audible and intelligible
This is a terrible comment.
FRC competitions are typically done inside gyms because the fields are rather large. Gyms don't have good acoustics

Fancy seeing you here 👀. It was indeed the state competition
