No it has not changed however the stinger is connected to a bracket that is outside the physical frame but inside the bumpers. I guess it all depends on the definition of inside/outside the frame perimeter.

Sorry for my ambiguity. Stinger OUT means outside the frame perimeter, the bumpers, and extending beyond the side your drive orientation is (i.e. if you are long orientation it protrudes beyond your short side, if you are wide orientation it protrudes beyond your long side).

also STINGER OUT. this was added before World for us.
also I believe it can hang off 12+ in so OVERHANG(+). I suppose the device we have that makes that possible is our drop down middle wheel. That way the robot just rests on the middle and back wheels. Does that count?

Re: 2012 IRI Predictions

STINGER OUT - Stinger of any kind applied outside of frame perimeter (i.e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yEcf...ailpage#t=268s)
STINGER IN - Stinger of any kind applied inside frame perimeter (i.e. http://youtu.be/Ar6CMCwlW5k)
BRAKES - Braking/stay put system - mechanical brakes, pneumatic pad onto bridge surface, etc.
PID BRAKES - Deserves its own category if no other mechanical braking present, as control stops once match ends.
OVERHANG(+) - Can hang at least 12" of robot off the bridge. Use OVERHANG+ if you have additional features to secure the bot that don't fall into any other category - wood blocks, wedges, tilting arm to affect COG :-), etc.

Re: 2012 IRI Predictions

Mechanical brakes, Stinger in, Overhang+ (robot grabber).

Re: 2012 IRI Predictions

3138 stinger in. Overhang of 13in + bumper :)

Re: 2012 IRI Predictions

We're overhang+ as well, sorry, the system was a tad confusing at first ;)

Re: 2012 IRI Predictions

1538 is actually only 34" long (~40.5" with bumpers). Since most of our robot's weight is behind the center wheel, we can hang about 18" (including bumpers) off the ramp. We also have a stinger located just behind the front wheel.

This has turned from a prediction thread to a scouting thread.

In order to predict, don't we need to know about who we're predicting?

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss. ;)

Yet most people who posted in the first half of the thread had no problem making their predictions before this separate discussion was brought up.

Re: 2012 IRI Predictions

I predict that at least 6 out of the top 8 alliance captains will be non-Longs, and the number 1 alliance, comprised of 4 non-Longs, will win IRI. Discuss.
