someone's making a robot that can pull 4 goals!

[Anton Abaya]

i got an email saying they had a design that would pull 4 goals during a match!

[gniticxe]

wow, that would be incredible, seeing as there are only 3 ;)

[Stephanie]

hah, i'd like to see them utilize that ability during a match!

[Jon Lawton]

Ah! You mean the robot can pull three "goals" and one trophy [the "real" goal]? Now that *IS* impressive... It's a good thing our drivetrain can pull 5! 8)

[D.J. Fluck]

It may be able to pull all the goals, but what else can it do.....if you cant move fast enough to get to the goal they wont be able to pull the goal...3 goals is a nice idea...but it would be interesting to see....

id like to shake the hand of the captain of the team that can grab all 3 gols in a match at a competition

[Anton Abaya]

three goals? no i said 4! it defies physics!

anyway, i think our robot should be able to handle three if we tied ropes to it. we're still deciding how many we wanna pull.

-anton

ps. the drive train should be able to handle it. it's halfway finished.

It might be able to tow them but will it be able to keep them????:confused: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :p

The only reason I said three is because there won't be a 4th goal in the match to pull...id hope people would know that

Aren't y'all missing the obvious solution here!?!?

This robot is designed with the Championship in mind.

Quite simply, it can reach over to the neighboring field and grab a fourth goal!! Duh!

The key isn't being able to control three goals, but three playing fields. . .

Now, which team was this??

Odds on this: 288 to 1

Any takers? :p

[Mike Martus]

Opps!

CD7 is being designed for the 4 goals. Someone must have miss counted the goals..... I see ........my glasses ( tri focals ) have slipped. Well I guess we will just pull the other 4 robots around.

All is not wasted.

[Jim McGeehin]

4 goals? That's incredible. If I see it, I'll believe it. It's incredibly unlikely as well as pointless. Why pull four goals? I could see three goals and a robot, but not 4 goals.

[Robb Gerber]

Thanks Anton...now everyone will know our secret:D

You might wanna push those glasses back up onto your face and recount the robots you see... You would be pullin the other 3 robots, not 4. ;) Lessin' I need my eyes checked...

I don't think their allies would like that too much. :D

[SharkBite]

its certainly interesting, but not useful

ive also noticed that the team whos doing this hasnt been identified, not that naybody is lying, but i dont really think any team is wasteful enough to make this mechanism which will take up space that is needed to build more important things

[honky]

well we only pull two goals...BUT we have 4 motors and only two wheels...oh yeah i forgot and 1380watts of peak power...if u grab three goals, were goina grab you!!!!! he he he

[Greg McCoy]

I think you will be pretty lucky to get control of two goals, let alone a nonexistant four.
