Guess Who's Back?


Forest Fighters are happy to announce we will be entering virtual Pi Wars this year~

We will be building off last years robot (Audrey III) and adapting her for any new challenges so expect a full-scale makeover.

Keep tuned in for more updates to this year's blog!✨✨✨

Happy New Year (and we hope its better than the last)

Gripper update. The grippers have been sprayed and a non-slip coating has been added. Grippers The software has been modded slightly to maintain continuous pressure on the block, once the grippers close, and a control button to switch off the gripper servo when the grippers are not closed. This seems to work reasonably well but we might require more tweaking as the cubes are quite slippery. Blocks We now have three cubes of different colours for the "Tidy Up The Toys" challenge. Amy has produced some nice menu artwork including this one for "Feed the Fish". Carping On She will also be giving a talk at the PiWars conference about this and her other digital art, see https://piwars.org/2021-vc/ for details.  Feed the Fish Team Forest Fighters still can't decide how to do this challenge either using a catapult or shove halfpenny methods. Having printed a catapult and launching nerf rounds across the lounge never to be seen again behind the TV, we are thinking thi...

More line following (now with added voice)

Image
We are still trying to improve the line following and are ensuring that the junctions are correctly navigated. If the line is straightforward, then we can follow at a decent frame rate (+32fps) but, as in the last post, we had real issues when we hit a junction. Looking at the Garden Path challenge rules, the highest amount of points can be obtained through using audio commands with camera based navigation (https://piwars.org/2021-vpw/challenges/up-the-garden-path/). While signposts did work, using the camera to follow the line and help with audio commands would seem to be the most reliable and best option. Below is a short video (once again using the rolling road on another screen for the Pi's camera to decode) but now with a USB microphone plugged into the Pi to issue commands to vosk (https://alphacephei.com/vosk/) with a limited list of words. Volume warning: It's a bit loud when Amy's Dad shouts the voice commands!!!! We need to see if we can't improve the latency ...

...and we are done!

With the final videos edited, uploaded to YouTube and submitted via the neat form, Forest Fighters has made its entry. We got caught out by the requirement to show the robot dimensions so we had to add a still image to the first part of the video. The new render features this image as part of the lead-in, as you can see we are within the dimensions although the gripper needs to be fully open to be under the 400mm allowed but is well within the 500mm over length allowed when it is closed. Here is Audrey III sat in the start box to tidy up the toys. Audrey has taken a bit of a pounding over two Pi Wars so, if we are lucky enough to compete again, she will be retired and we shall try something new. The most complex challenge was the Up The Garden Path and the most stressful was Feed The Fish. However, they've all have been fun to do.  We send endless thanks to Mike, Tim and David for their awesome work and we're really looking forward to a fantastic results weekend.
