FTC 8644 Brainstormers Robot Reveal Ultimate Goal 2020 - 2021

[@francisschaeffer2243]

What an awesome robot. You guys really showed your stuff at MTI. You were marked heavily, but on Sunday you came way back and put in a great performance. I love this video as it really helps me understand some aspects of your robot. Great work!

[@Brainstormers8644]

Thanks! Too bad we couldn't be partners at MTI. Hopefully we get to do so next year!

[@alvictor1291]

Are you gusy still a full free build only team? Fantastic robot, glad to see that 8644 is still an amazing team throughout the years.

[@Brainstormers8644]

We are still mostly a free-build team, because it allows us to prototype and iterate very quickly. We do use CAD for 3d printed/CNC parts as well as making sure those parts will fit together with the existing robot.

What system do you use to track the high goal? Great robot btw

[@Brainstormers8644]

We used EasyOpenCV to track the goal. We looked for the red/blue contour then a white contour inside.
