Team 254 2012 Robot...DONE!

Slipstream wanted another 15 minutes of fame and took a few lessons from MJ.

The sad thing is, I say the title and wasn't that surprised.

Nice job! I do have a question for you. How far does the arm extend beyond the edge of the frame?

Good work. While everyone went for shooters, you thought outside of the box.

It maaaay however break this rule:

[R01-1]
--
Robot must be built by the FRC team to perform specific tasks when competing in Rebound Rumble.
--
The Robot implementation must obviously follow a design approach intended to play the 2012 FRC game (e.g. a box of unassembled parts placed on the Court, or a Robot designed to play a different game would not satisfy this definition).

Re: Team 254 2012 Robot...DONE!

What height is the hoop you scored in at? Is it equivalent to any of the heights of the actual competition hoops?

Re: Team 254 2012 Robot...DONE!

Ironically a design like this would be perfectly legal for the middle level hoop and I would not be at all surprised to see it.

It's the top hoop height.

Than your move is illegal my friend.

It is? Are you sure? Why would the defending World Champs not read the rules?

Not for long. ;)

Re: Team 254 2012 Robot...DONE!

Yep, Joseph is right. I think that the design committee wanted teams to actually compete and score with the spirit of Basketball in mind.

Shooting for the top would provide a better challenge than to just "dunk it in" (which is illegal and impossible to do with the fender and the 14 in extension limit, for the goals were designed not to be contacted by robots in any way NORMALLY).

Less interested in the video more interested in the fact that the poofs apparently made a major off season acquisition bringing in Pat Fairbank.

I knew about that last year when I talked to Pat at GTR.

Awesome. I was quite surprised that Slipstream would be able to handle basketballs, but that's really impressive.

Can't wait to see what you actually build!
