Chapter 007: Elephant Legs

Indeed, I went back last night and studied the competition rules again. The height of the obstacles on the field is 5 centimeters. Our current idea is to draw on the plan from last year at Wuhan University, which should be relatively stable. Jiang Yongliang replied with a smile.

Well... last year, many school teams used pneumatic devices for the arrow-throwing and pot-throwing project. We also considered using them at that time, sigh...

Therefore, if we equip the robot that is stacking blocks in the arena with a counteracting mechanical arm, as long as it recognizes that a ball is flying towards it, it will immediately...

It was not until this morning that he truly "joined" the team and fully understood the current situation of the team's robots

Therefore, Jiang Yongliang quickly adjusted his mindset

Alright

Moreover, he truly wants to take it all upon himself

Later, he and Tao Zheng summarized their findings late at night. Based on Ye Ming's demonstrated abilities, it indicates that this individual has not only completely mastered all the knowledge of his major in Electronic Information Engineering but has also delved deeply into the specialized knowledge of Computer Science.

After distributing the lunch boxes, Li Dongsheng eagerly leaned over to Ye Ming and asked, "How is it going?"

"Still learning," Ye Ming said as he broke apart the chopsticks, pointing at the robots on the training ground. "This morning, I discussed with Senior Jiang and the others that the ball-throwing mechanism needs to be modified; it should be changed to a compressed pneumatic system. Otherwise, we cannot guarantee the initial speed of the ball, because according to the rules, it is permissible to manipulate the machines on the field and the operators to evade."

I hope everyone does not find it complicated

"It's alright, take your time," Ye Ming said with a smile to offer comfort.

The protagonist's plan is to install a mechanical arm on their own block robot, and when the opponent's ball comes, they will simply swat it away

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's gaze immediately turned towards Ye Ming

In the second round, the block robot places a bowl on its head, with a ball balanced inside the bowl. At the same time, they enter the arena and begin to stack blocks (alternating colors, one layer red, one layer blue)

At this point, it is pointless to put on a show in front of teammates

The condition for triggering the task of "The Virtue of Sharing" should not be uploading or downloading, but rather application—because when he invokes the system before going to sleep, the task does not appear.

After a silence of three seconds, all the boys applauded simultaneously

On the way to the laboratory, Ye Ming conducted a rough analysis.

If this must be entirely completed by one's own hands, then wouldn't the experience points soar directly

Then we need to equip the robots in the venue with 360 dual cameras

If in the future, Ye Ming's performance lives up to his claims, being a key player... then what else is there to consider

Li Dongsheng and Jiang Yongliang exchanged a glance, nodded, and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Ye Ming extended his hand and waved in the air

What he said yesterday was truly fragmented, and it was no exaggeration

With the book "Uh... like this," Ye Ming pressed his lips together and lowered his head to look at the A4 paper

All of these are engineering experiences. Just from the few hours of meetings with everyone, he found that his engineering experience increased by 300! It has now become [Engineering: 4 (1550 / 50000)]

"I know you can do it, but what about when it comes to avoiding obstacles?" Ye Ming glanced at Peng Xiaofei and said, "This time, the RC race has clearly intensified its competitive nature, rather than being merely a speed contest."

To be frank, he can go anywhere.

In the words of Li Dongsheng: "Brothers! The competition is imminent, we must take decisive action now!"

Just embrace it and it's done

Did Captain Li have an all-nighter last night

Well... leave it to me. Moreover, I have thought about it, and there should be an even better solution. Ye Ming did not stand on ceremony with Peng Xiaofei and directly agreed.

Note

"Good morning, both of you." Jiang Yongliang greeted Ye Ming with a smile

Good morning, senior. Are you continuing to adjust the chassis?

As soon as I entered, I saw Jiang Yongliang and Tao Gang were already there

Ye Ming no longer held back, picking up the USB drive that Li Dongsheng had placed on the table and began copying the files

Indeed, it is ... ... a family engaged in machining ... ...

I will first take charge of the upper-level machine vision aspect, and then you can entrust all the modifications related to machining and 3D printing to me. I am somewhat more familiar with the drawings, and what we currently lack is time

Ye Ming turned his head to look at the robot in the arena: "So, do you use machines? If so..."

Give it a slap!

Even someone like Sun Xiaoxiao, who is not in a related field, could tell from the attitudes and tones of those around her that this freshman, whom she mistakenly identified as a "senior," is truly... a big shot

There is no need to discuss the code; as a member responsible for the mechanical aspects, he primarily focuses on Ye Ming's abilities in mechanical and structural design. ... Then ... ! ... he confirmed that this guy is indeed impressive

You can directly use the binocular camera of the outdoor robot. Determine the landing point, and then communication between the two machines will suffice

After dinner, Li Dongsheng gathered everyone for a brief meeting. His opinion was the same as Ye Ming's: first, to list the requirements and functions, then to analyze the issues one by one. After the analysis, they would discuss the solutions.

If a "high-level player" with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and a Master's degree in Computer Science were to create it, then it would naturally be no problem

Well... it is indeed a bit complicated, please forgive me.

Let me explain the rules of the competition

First, in a certain area, there are two towers built from blocks, one red and one blue. In the first round, the robot throws a ball to knock down the towers.

Alright, now all the areas that need improvement and major repairs for our two treasures are listed here!" Li Dongsheng raised the A4 paper in his hand, and even after only four hours of sleep, he was still full of energy: "Now everyone can claim their tasks one by one.

The reason is quite simple

How is it?

Last night, although he did not accompany Li Dongsheng to the laboratory for a frenzy, he was the first to download all of Ye Ming's open-source code and files.

It is evident that someone stayed up late to replicate his project after he fell asleep

This paper lists more than 20 items that need to be amended

So how do we know when the opponent has thrown the ball? It is sufficient for the binocular camera of the off-field robot (understood as the human eyes) to observe the entire field, allowing it to determine the landing position and time based on the speed and trajectory of the ball, and relay this information to the on-field robot

Whoever finishes building the tower first wins

Ye Ming looked at Li Dongsheng with confusion, noticing that the latter's brows were slightly furrowed

... ...

What were we doing two years ago? ... Peng Xiaofei ...? ... His roommate, also a freshman, what could he do?

No need, no need. We still have to design the plan here, you go ahead with yours.

After quickly calculating the project volume, Ye Ming realized that his experience was still insufficient—especially in the area of lower-level electromechanical control, which is also a significant aspect. He then added: "I studied the rules and found that the rules do not state that the opponent's ball can only be dodged and not blocked, right?"

You see, according to the rules, there are two robots, two operators, one operator is throwing the ball from outside the field to interfere. One is building blocks, moving, avoiding obstacles, and also needs to dodge the ball inside the field

"Almost done, Team Leader Li said he has already packaged all the code, including the front end, so you can just copy it over."

... ...

However, there was no applause as expected

Moreover, he also discovered that although the team members could not be described as incompetent, it must be said that under the circumstances of insufficient funding and manpower, everyone had quite a lot of work to do. As a result, while the two robots do not appear to be lacking in limbs, a detailed analysis reveals that they are somewhat lacking in various aspects.

The two individuals chatted while riding a shared bicycle to the laboratory

Ye Ming : `` ... ... ''

At 12:30, Li Dongsheng walked into the laboratory carrying a stack of lunch boxes—he had informed everyone on WeChat an hour earlier that he was up, feeling good, and had an immense desire to be a delivery person. He urged everyone to stay in the laboratory and not to lower themselves to go to the cafeteria.

But this guy is only a freshman!

Thus, the meeting continued until 4:30 PM.

Therefore, the most important thing is to make a plan and address each issue one by one

While the block robot searches for blocks on the ground and builds with them, the ball-throwing robot outside the area can throw balls in any direction at the opposite block robot, knocking the ball off its head. The block robot that is building will then be penalized by having to stand still.

At this moment, Peng Xiaofei immediately raised his hand and said, "I can do it"

However, there must always be a limit
