CONFIDENTIAL DO NOT PUBLICIZE

Put your robot on a world tour — Project Taylor keeps it in tune with the game!

Overview

Project Taylor is a plug-and-play AI co-processor that integrates seamlessly with FRC robots to optimize gameplay with:

  • Smart autonomous path correction

  • Real-time defensive maneuvers

  • Strategy adaptation based on match dynamics

  • Vision-assisted target recognition

  • Tuned drive profiles inspired by your robots eras

This all-in-one module ensures your robot stays in sync with the game while dazzling the crowd with a performance worthy of a sold-out stadium.

Hardware

  • Cortex A76 & M7: Providing real-time computing alongside CAN FD and multi-motor control.

  • Neural Processing Unit: Allows for AI path correction and vision processing.

  • Space-grade IMU: Provides gyroscopic stability and anti-tip control

  • High-Speed Vision Modules: supports April Tag & VSLAM - 3840 x 2160 @ 240FPS

  • Integrated LED Controller: Automatically gives 2RP & 10% performance bonus (pay to win)

Key Features

Auto-Tune

  • Pitch Perfect PID Controller

    • Dynamically adjusts motor paths with sum-millisecond precision to keep autonomous routines hitting all the right notes.

  • Era-Aware Decision Tree

    • Switches between aggressive and defensive auto paths based on detected alliance conditions

Shake It Off Defensive Maneuvers

  • Gyro-Corrected Evasion Algorithm

    • Engages a high-speed sidestep to avoid defenders, reducing drivetrain load

  • Collision-Avoidance Protocol

    • Instantly detects incoming robots and performs evasive maneuvers to "shake off" heavy defense

Era Switcher Drive Profiles

  • Automatically shifts drive profiles depending on match conditions

    • 1989 Mode: Prioritizes speed and scoring

    • Reputation Mode: Focuses on aggressive defense and torque

    • Lover Mode: Optimizes for support, assists and alliance coordination

All Too Well Vision System

  • Target Recognition Engine

    • Detects game pieces and field elements at 240FPS with AI-assisted path correction.

  • Multi-Frame Predictive Targeting

    • Reduces lag and compensates for field inconsistencies.

  • Auto-Lock Focus

    • Ensures your robot "never misses a beat."

Blank Space Strategy Engine

  • Real-Time Strategy Adjustment

    • Analyzes field data to fill in gaps when alliance partners deviate from your plan.

  • Adaptive Decision Algorithm

    • Switches between offense and defense seamlessly - leaving a "blank space" for coach overrides.

Anti-Hater Torque Boost

  • Power-Shift Mode

    • Engages a temporary torque boost when the robot detects excessive defensive resistance.

  • Adaptive Current Control

    • Protects motors from overheating while maintaining maximum pushing force.

Bejeweled LED Sync System

  • Audio-Responsive LED Patterns

    • LEDs respond dynamically to match conditions.

  • Era-Tuned Light Profiles

    • LEDs pulse differently depending on active drive profile.

Anti-Tilt Stabilization "You Belong With Me" Mode

  • IMU-Based Auto-Balance

    • Prevents tipping on uneven surfaces or ramps.

  • Real-Time Tilt Correction

    • Instantly shifts power to stabilize the drivetrain, ensuring your robot stays upright.

Installation & Setup

  • Single CAN Connection

    • Easily mounts to the robot with a direct connection to the RoboRIO

If you read this far, you just lost the game :)
