Dang y'all must have made a light robot.
Our team welded the full version. I'm curious why your team did not even follow the team drawings.

Because they're 1625 and plan on getting 40 points by balancing their robot on the top of the tower solely supported by the hed of a bolt after scoring 72 points in autonomous by themselves, and scoring every frisbee in the human player station using full-court shots from the loading stations.
They also plan on climbing by using a WINpump.

Who said they were hanging?
Even if I wasn't hanging, I would still want a cheap (like this) pyramid so that we could make sure we don't hit it when shooting. It would also be nice to have if you are using it to line up with the goals in teleop and to make sure you touch the bar in the beginning of auton.

Awesome. Thanks for the laughs. I'm guessing that this project was meant to keep some students busy, without mentor guidance.

Yeah, some people on here don't get the jokes :rolleyes:
Good work 1625, you guys are always awesome!

Ah yes, you must have followed the cartoon version :P

Good to see you guys are setting the bar high this year :p

This makes me want to test just how ridiculous you can be on chiefdelphi before everyone detects a joke.
Do you guys actually need the twine cross on the floor to keep that thing upright? ._.

11 years on this forum have taught me one thing;
No one hear has a sense of humour. They take everything way two srsly.
I half to put things thru my how long will it take for CD to get it was a joke filter frequently.

Do you mind if we come over to test our climber prototype?

Awesome! We've been looking for a field to practice on for a while now... Mind if we stop by so we can test our 5 second 30pt climber and our new swerve drive?

You guys better get to testing that climber if you want to compete with our 1 second 30 point climber.

That's still too slow. Our robot has already climbed to the top of pyramid at every regional in the country. WE WIN!!!

We've managed to wrangle about 1:48 for our climb time!
Use the team drawing next time, That would helps you guys.

Very punny. We're at the wild time of 1:11 for our climb.

WHAT HAVE I STARTED!?! :eek:
but considering our Mideast regional win (all thanks to team 46 for lending the left handed allen wrenches!) We could probably pull of the 85 point hang in a little under 36 minutes, as long as the air density is under 16.25 parsecs! AND WE DON'T EVEN LIFT! CHEERS!
Notice that Seth (the original poster) didn't say WHAT we were going to hang from this pyramid.
Let's just say driver tryouts are going to be VERY competitive this year.
:rolleyes:

Oh, I get it, 1625's light load testing a way to pull the tower down to them and DRIVE into the 30 point zone.
They also plan on climbing by using a WINpump.
I am still waiting on VEXPro or AM to source a WINPump. Trying to adapt commercial WINPumps to a KOP motor is such a pain.

That's why we use magic pixie dust. It's easier to source and no motor required.

That kind of pre-stored energy isnt allowed.

Are you sure?
R95 doesn't state that you can't use pixie dust, so this means we can, right?
Right?

In 2011, one of our students actually spent a few minutes looking for one online. I don't think anyone had the heart to stop him.

That kid is the perfect FIRST student. Did anyone eventually tell him?

Yeah, we did. He is now our team president and end effector driver. The WINpump sealed the deal. ;)

Of course. And now he may continue the tradition of duping younger team members into looking for magical FIRST stuff.

Once.
Maybe.

I'd go with "pull," I don't think you'd quite get to the "up" part.

It would probably be more of a pull-down.

I don't see why not... It holds our robot, top rung, no problem
