When the water leaks in to the control box it is shorting out all sorts of stuff. We are thinking of using tampons to absorb the water....

Wait. Isn't this the forum for the ancient worship of Apollo??? Delphi, right? Right? Hello?

We get stuck driving in all the corn.

Re: One week in, what are you doing?
 

I was thinking odf using pneumatic tires to float on the water. It'd take quite a few, but it should work. ;)

We're building a drive train that can go over the 4" bump and an inverted wedge to deal with the teeter totters. Then we are going to shoot balls into the high goal.

(oh wait, that actually works for this game too :) )

Re: One week in, what are you doing?
 

Well, we're going to try to assist the ball down the field, hope the referees don't make mistakes, and launch a ball into the high goal eight times.

And maybe win our regionals? :)

We're going to focus on building a robot that's as small as possible so we can be a valuable ally for balancing the bridge in teleop

Handle it? That's how minibots are supposed to work!

Re: One week in, what are you doing?
 

Yeah! Its not a good match unless you have to replace a motor afterwards... Isn't that why everyone had 3 copies of their minibots??

Trying to get this dang noodle manipulator to work.

Re: One week in, what are you doing?
 

We're working on our intake mechanism, but it keeps destroying our game pieces. Anyone know where to get more floppies?

Re: One week in, what are you doing?
 

Four. It was four. They keep getting smashed by the totes, though.

Re: One week in, what are you doing?
 

We are shooting for potentially scoring 301 points in our first regional. And maybe more?

Re: One week in, what are you doing?
 

We are planning to hang off of the truss to score truss points and avoid defense!

Should get us 10 truss points every 10 seconds

Re: One week in, what are you doing?
 

Wait, like 301 points from all matches combined, or 301 points for a single match? Because 301 points for a single match would be insane for this game.
