Tallest Aerial Assist Robot

[eli2410]

I've been curious about something from this year. I know that there weren't a lot of goalie robots out there, but I was wondering what the tallest robot was this year and how tall said robot is. Any and all goalie robots top height is requested.

I know that my team's robot is taller than the goal, but I don't have an exact measurement at the moment.

[who716]

our was 59In. on the dot we had a blocker on it to attempt to block opponets shots

[Whippet]

Ours measured 59.9 inches high to facilitate catching the ball.

[Canon reeves]

ours was 5 feet 11 inches roughly speaking to catch

Sure it wasn't 4'11"? (59 inches) 71 inches better be in the goalie zone.

[Canon reeves]

sorry, blonde moment! I meant 4' 11"!

One of the rookies at Inland Empire started out with a 10' tall pole on their robot, along with a pair of 20" low-goal blockers. The 10' tall pole could not retract or extend.

After a couple matches with plural G22s, the pole came off. After one or two more with a couple of G26-1s, I didn't see the low-goal blockers again.

I think it was taller than 10ft. The top of the high goal is just about 10 ft and I remember them clearing the top of the goal by a good 3-4ft.

I also think that was the highest scoring robot at Inland. Not necessarily highest scoring for their alliance, but probably for the opposing one.

I saw a team at new york regional who had a piston for blocking that went up to 7 feet. It took them 30 seconds to fill it up though so they dropped it for something more reasonable. It was pretty incredible to see a piston that big sitting in an FRC pit though.

FRC 1710 had a solely defensive robot design. It was really tall, they had a mobile blocker to defend the high goal in addition to having blockers for the low goals. When they took their robot out of their pits, they had to lift one side of the curtains to get it out, it was definitely at least 6 feet tall I'd guess.

What did you do whenever your robot tilted slightly?

We think we have the tallest Aerial Assist robot at 10 feet, 10 inches. Anyone want to challenge that? https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc1/t1.0-9/s403x403/10247206_695694747139978_3214105544151874768_n.jpg

Any idea what team or anything that could help me find them? I looked through the videos on Blue Alliance, and none of the rookies seem to have anything defensive.

I'll raise you 10 feet 11 inches, even though our robot is less than half that height, I can't not do challenge.

I believe he's talking about 5121, Trobots http://www.thebluealliance.com/team/5121/2014

Looking at the team list, yep, that's them. All 10'+ of them. Maybe 12' of 'em?

And, TBA happens to have a Youtube search that pulled up this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcHFntQrVnU They're on the far left, red bumpers. You can also see one of their low-goal blockers--and, why they got lots of penalties. (Watch to the end, and you hear two of them.)

[Jacob.B]

57 inches, without a blocker. Got to love pit scouting, you have to know these kinds of things.

[Whippet]

What did you do whenever your robot tilted slightly?

The height lowered to approximately 56 inches when it was in operation. It was only that tall in the starting configuration.

[samfruth]

Team 1710 was a static 8ft 6in, the tallest robot in FRC history that didn't change height.

:yikes: Woah, that's a cool tidbit of info. I was almost positive I could think of a taller one, but it seems I can't. I saw you guys at Newton, definitely the best a pure goalie bot can get, congrats on EI!

And I assume the times when the goalie arm went timber didn't count as "changing height." ::ouch::

[Charles Boehm]

During quarter finals on Archimedes 2056 tipped slightly and got stuck on the truss. Does that count for anything?

Yeah, that was a major problem for us this year, ultimatley we kept the arm on for the last four matches at Newton. Do to the amount of Tech Fouls we recieved this year from the arm falling, our team has (jokingly) created a new rule, G1710, which states that if you are team 1710 on Newton field you will recieve a tech foul upon entering the field. That being said, 1710 turned some heads this year and that's something we're proud of.[/QUOTE]
