Model target generator for FTC

By ftc7078 on Fri, 01/24/2020 - 20:44

The FTC Competition software includes the Vuforia SDK version 7.4.3 that competitors can use to detect objects during the competition.  It's my understanding you cannot update this to a newer version and be in compliance for competitions.  The Model Target Generator that is available for download currently does not support this version of the SDK. Only teams who have access to an older version of the Vuforia Model Target Generator can convert cad files into Vuforia datasets and thus effectively use them to create new detection datasets.  I cannot find anywhere where an older version of the model target generator is available.  Is it possible to provide access to an older version that can be used with these older sdks?  Thanks. 

Hi,

I am looking into this and will come back to you, today, latest tomorrow.

Thank you.

Hi,

Could you please check and confirm that you require 7.4? It is a very old version part of an EAP if I remember correctly.

Thank you.

Sorry it took so long to reply, but even now, a few years later this is still the case.  Teams are still asking for it with no luck, and the FTC SDK still uses the 2018 verison of the libraries. 

Hey there,

 

I'll check internally to see if I would be able to provide you with the older version of the Model Target Generator. 

 

Kind regards,
