Best full court shooter blockers
 
At all of our competitions, especially MSC, we've seen many outrageous blockers. Do you guys have any photos of any particularly effective and awesome looking blockers? Thanks.

Our rookies this year, 4716, made a pure defensive bot and blocks full court shooters. They were finalists at GTR west this year, and blocked many teams along the way!

team lasar, 3284 if im not mistaken. they have a very powerful drive train and completely shut us down in the finals at st louis regional. normally we'd put up 100 points a match.

We developed a blocker that
A) Allowed us to go under the pyramid
B) Was configurable to 60 or 84 inches
C) Didn't break or weigh a lot.

We used one of those orange poles that go into the ground to mark off where the street ends and elastic.

It started bent back into our bot and flipped out when the shooter was raised, Our philosophy behind it was that you don't need to stop the shots, you only need to throw off the trajectory. There is one match out the where we parked in front of team 503, Frog Force, and negated all Teleop points from them that match.

2054 has a good full court blocker. It extends to around 80", but retracts down so they can still fit under the pyramid. Their defense against cyclers is also very good.

Camdenton 3284 is an amazing blocker! Their net is just an amazing idea that works extremely well. Also they have a very strong drivetrain.

We were a very strong defensive presence as STL also with 3284 being the only robot their that we couldn't shut down.

Here's a video of us blocking 1706 a FCS

We made that net before that match in 15 minutes for the sole purpose of blocking 1706 :) it worked like a charm! We normally could go underneath the pyramid

Steampunk 1577 built an adjustable blocker, 28"/60"/84".

3284 pushed us around like a rag doll, and you guys did well too! We have a few tricks up a sleeves for championships next weekend, it isnt anything new we didnt show off the crossroads.

We added a "juke" feature, that allows us to start shooting at either 2 point target from the feeder station with a push of a button. The purpose is to just simply shoot around the blocker. We did this because when a robot is between us and a blocker, the blocker cannot legally block all 3 targets.

Also, we changed gear so we're sort of fast and due to our machanums, we strafe sideways to the otherside of the pyramid, shoot 4 into the 3 point, then strafe over. The block bot will not be able to go underneath the pyramid, so they'd have to go around. and If they dont follow us, we start fcs from the unprotected feeder station :D

Watch out. 1706 is hear to play.

We on 3414 added a 80 inch blocker that easily goes under the 60 inches so we can do our normal scoring (averaged over 50 pts at MSC) and block full court shooters when needed.

2834 if I remember right had a good blocker that extended probably 80 or so inches only when needed as well. Seemed to work really well and they used it multiple times.

Re: Best full court shooter blockers
 
This is somewhat related:

Who, (other than us), has so far met a full court shooter good enough that a robot could be used to play counter-blocker? We won the Northern lights with King Tec as a robot that specialized in keeping blockers from touching full court shooters. Any reason why I haven't seen many others playing the same strategy?
