Out to FRC teams...
Greetings Teams:
In an ongoing effort to enhance the FIRST Robotics Competition, FIRST
is partnering with National Instruments (NI), a technology pioneer and
leader in virtual instrumentation, to offer a pilot program to
evaluate the potential for innovative data acquisition approaches with
sensor technology on FRC robots. The program is limited to
approximately 25 FRC teams in the US and Canada. Any interested FRC
team may submit an application directly to NI as indicated below.
Selected teams will receive the Student Edition of NI's flagship
graphical programming language, NI LabVIEW, along with an NI 6009 USB
data acquisition device (DAQ). The NI USB-6009 DAQ device can easily
be connected to most of the sensors teams use on their robots. Using
LabVIEW with the DAQ device will allow you to:
Acquire, store, and analyze sensor readings
Gain a better understanding of how sensors operate
Fine-tune robot hardware and software
Improve your designs and prototypes
NI LabVIEW is used extensively in industry by scientists and
engineers who design automated measurement and control systems, much
like those used on FRC robots.
Please note that because this project is limited to a small number of
FRC teams primarily for feedback purposes, the DAQ hardware provided
for this pilot is not legal for use during official FIRST 2006
competition matches.
Upon completion of this pilot, National Instruments and FIRST will
evaluate the pilot teams' experiences in consideration of the
possibility of making the NI LabVIEW and USB DAQ device available to
all FRC teams in the future.
To learn more about NI LabVIEW, visit: ni.com/labview
To learn more about NI USB DAQ, visit: ni.com/usb
How to apply:
· Interested teams may apply online at:
http://research.ni.com/run/2005FRCapplication
· Teams must submit their application by Friday, December 2
to be considered
· Teams will be notified by NI of acceptance by Wednesday, December
7
Criteria for participation:
· Teams must be officially registered with FIRST as
participants in the FRC 2006 program
· Teams should have dedicated resources to experiment with NI
LabVIEW and USB DAQ devices
· Teams should have a mentor or team member(s) who are
familiar with computer-based data acquisition technology (aka virtual
instrumentation)
· Teams are required to share feedback (including successes,
challenges, innovative applications) with NI and FIRST through the
Chief Delphi forum and a post-pilot survey. Feedback will be shared
with all FRC teams
· Pilot program teams attending the 2006 FRC Championship are
requested to participate in an NI pilot program feedback session
For questions regarding the NI pilot program, e-mail FRC@xxxxxx
Go Teams!
Cheers,
