Re: Where are you going to hang?
 

Canadians have built invisibility cloaks to hide their perpetual snow machines from the world so why can't 2056 just teleport up to the top of the pyramid?

Re: Where are you going to hang?
 

I agree with this. Before yesterday I would have said 30, but now with a little CAD and G23 (the 54" cylinder rule), it's looking much more like a 10 point hang. I'm going to be very impressed with teams that manage to fit in that cylinder and still hang for 30 points. It's possible, it's just not easy.

Re: Where are you going to hang?
 

I agree, although how does the rule work if you are tipped on your side? Does the 54" cylinder tip along with you? Or does the cylinder stay vertical while you are tipped making your reach only add to your height?

Re: Where are you going to hang?
 

The cylinder stays the same.

Q&A question 15.

Re: Where are you going to hang?
 

The cylinder stays vertical. (more)

Re: Where are you going to hang?
 

How so? If you've climbed from the 10-point to the 20-point level, just do the same thing again and you'll be at the 30-point level.

Re: Where are you going to hang?
 

Exactly! G23 has been the biggest hurde that we have run up against so far. I think we now have a "concept" that can do it. Although after looking at the model for the pyramid, moving from 2 to 3 is not exactly the same as moving from 1 to 2....so that will probably be the next hurdle.

Getting to 30pts is not an easy task. Lots of people are saying they will do it, but I bet only a few will.

Re: Where are you going to hang?
 

In analyzing the strategy, I'd much rather be a bot that could shoot auto and hang than even worry about teloperated. Remember, when it comes to FMS rankings, you are looking at A) Game Win, B) Auto Score, C) Climb Score.

Re: Where are you going to hang?
 

I plan on creating a second poll at the end of the build season to see how people change their minds because i believe the poll results will be completely different.

Re: Where are you going to hang?
 

That depends on your design... To go from 20 to 30 with our design, we basically just have to copy part of it.

Someone posted this on the thread about picking up discs: http://www.diginfo.tv/v/11-0121-r-en.php

It seemed to fit with your possible mechanism.

Re: Where are you going to hang?
 

The refs would have to see them touch each level so they would have to teleport one level at a time for a legal climb.

Re: Where are you going to hang?
 

I just say so because of the difficulty in doing so. Of course, difficulty is relative :)

Re: Where are you going to hang?
 

That should only be a team's midnset when going into Championships. But for thinking about winning a regional, you should build to score high in Auto and Tele-Op and then hang. If you build a robot for say Orlando(week 2) and you can score 2-4 in the 3pt in Auto and then score 10-15 in the 3pt in Tele-Op and then hang 10pt, thats 52-79pts. That will win you that regional, most likely as the #1 seed captain. More often than not, winning a regional by getting seeded usually plays out i the W/L column.

Vs. someone that builds a 1pt dumper and 30 point hanger that gets you maybe 46-50pts in that same match. Doing this kind of robot will also make your end score highly dependent on one factor of the match.(i.e. your livelyhood at that regional depends on you getting to the 3rd level of that pyramid, no if, ands, or buts)

Re: Where are you going to hang?
 

Next poll question mainly targeted at those attempting the 30 point hang.

Are you hanging on the inside or the outside of the pyramid?



Once it comes to picking alliances for eliminations, you had better make sure you only have one interior climber on your alliance. Doesn't seem like there will be room for more than one robot when it comes to 30 point hanging on the inside.
