Re: 30pt climb under 15 seconds
 

In a poll asking where your team was going to climb, a team member from 2056 (I hope you know who that is) answered that they weren't going to even go for a climb.
I am 90% sure that the entire reason for the frame perimeter size change was to keep teams from doing everything well. The powerhouse teams are the the same boat as everyone else. They don't have space, and they have to make a choice: Climb or Shoot.

Re: 30pt climb under 15 seconds
 

Not really. We were able to make a very good shooter and decent climber and we have room for a floor pick up mechanism. It is all on how you design your robot. The key is not to package it all into a tiny area. The key is to making one thing do multiple tasks such as hot in 2012, there arm was used to pick up balls, balance, bridge assist, get over bump, and could also be used to pull the robot if there drive train failed. Just some thoughts.

What that a poll on chief delphi? If so, was it a student or a mentor who posted it? any links?

Re: 30pt climb under 15 seconds
 

I think one thing that needs to be pointed out is that robots are not allowed to shoot in pyramid goal in auto. So max points from auto is 18

Re: 30pt climb under 15 seconds
 

Potentially 42 points with a floor pickup:)

Re: 30pt climb under 15 seconds
 

You can pick up from the floor. Please read and understand the rules before you go to your first competition. They are very important!

Re: 30pt climb under 15 seconds
 

Max USUAL points is 18. Floor pickup you can go as high as 42 in a standard match, and prossibly more if you can be fed by an alliance.

Re: 30pt climb under 15 seconds
 

Yes i know that you can pick disc up but with time constraints it'll be more rare to see a team score more then 18 in auto then a 30 pt climb.

Re: 30pt climb under 15 seconds
 

Where are you guys getting 42?

You can start by holding 3 and pick up 6 from the ground.

3+6=9
9*6=54

Re: 30pt climb under 15 seconds
 

You don't need to cross the center line to pick them up ;)

There's also a chance that there will be more frisbees in the middle due to teams not reading the manual properly = more possible points.

Re: 30pt climb under 15 seconds
 

and you can do this in 15 seconds?

Re: 30pt climb under 15 seconds
 

I believe we are talking maximum theoretically.

Realistically, I doubt that any single team will be able to score more than 30 points.

Re: 30pt climb under 15 seconds
 

Don't be too suprised.

2011: 2 tube auto's. 233 even had a 3 tube auto.

2012: 4-5 ball autos. Teams would get the balls off the center bridge. Some teams could even do the side bridge by the end of the season.

2013: ???

Re: 30pt climb under 15 seconds
 

2014: Profit!

Sorry had to... :)

Re: 30pt climb under 15 seconds
 

Just because they only start with 2 in auton does NOT mean they didn't read the manual correctly. Some teams may want to shoot closer in hopes of higher accuracy. Others may want to a shorter drive to the low goal so that they can dump. Don't just assume a team misreads the manual.
