Extended-Drive-Characterization
The FRC Characterization tool provides an easy way to get an insight into the physics behind robot motors. It generates a robot project to be used in conjunction with the tool to extrapolate constants that describe the physical behavior of a selected motor. While these constants accurately model the linear motion of the robot's drive base when both sides of the robot are running at similar speeds, it is an incomplete description, especially since one side may be slightly mechanically different from the other. This repository aims to describe every motor on the drive base individually and to produce information needed to run a Kalman filter localization that can fuse data from encoders, accelerometer and gyroscope readings from a NavX IMU, and current readings from the TalonFX motor controller

ARTHUR
ARTHUR (A Robot To Help Us Robot) is an off season project to help train the team for the upcoming build season. This is a series of modifications to the 2018-2019 off season project JUNIOR to recode it all from scratch and possibly add more functionality.

Motor-Constant-Extrapolation
Extrapolate motor constants from given data points. Resistance, viscous friction coefficient, torque, and EMF constants are taken from provided motor curve data using a least squares planar regression without intercept (no friction). Inductance and moment of inertia are taken from measurements done with no load while not in steady state using a gradient descent algorithm. Frictional torque is taken from measurements with typical load using a least squares regression.

DogSCAN
This is a program I made to capture pictures of my dog climbing on top of my couch while I was at school. It would email me pictures of him climbing during the school day. This program was run on NodeJS with the "jimp" and "nodemailer" packages. This does not include the .exe file which generated images, but that can be found here: https://github.com/tedburke/CommandCam. The program will likely crash if run without modifications since I removed the username and password of the email addresses
