RoboMaster

A project of RoboMaster

Profile:

This project is mainly about my experience participating in RoboMaster 2018 (Oct 2017 - Aug 2018), RoboMaster 2019 (Sep 2018 - Aug 2019). The official website of RoboMaster is here.

In this competition, our team should design 7 robots and build communication between robots and keyboard mouse, using image senor equiped on the robots to fight with other teams’ robots from the first perspective in a basketball court sized field.

My Work:

In the team, I served as the head of the visual group, which should provide visual assistance to robots. There are two main works for the visual group:
(1) Visual aiming and shooting. Automatically recognize the enemies by cameras and perform precise shooting, e.g., operator could simply hold down the right mouse button to enable the robots to automatically aim and shoot enemies.
(2) Energy mechanism shooting. An energy mechanism in the map could provide a Buff for the team successfully activating it. There are different to activate energy mechanisms each year:

In RoboMaster 2018, our robots should recognize the 5 digits in Nixie tubes, then shoot the digits of 9 LEDs below in order. After successfully hitting one digit each time, the order of the 9 digits in the LED will be randomly reset. Besides, if a certain digit is shot incorrectly or if the interval between two shots exceeds 1.5 seconds, it needs to be reactivated.

In RoboMaster 2019, our robots need to recognize the rotating windmill from 8 meters away and shoot the glowing blades in order. Additionally, if the wrong blade is shot or if the interval between two shots exceeds 2 seconds, it needs to be reactivated.

Additionally, I’m an operator who controls robot 4 (5 in Global Competition) to confront the opponents.
