Haha. Couldn't one argue that it would be classified as a drone? That would then violate the admin manual. haha

I had an interesting thought about attaching helium balloons to our robot, and then detaching them in the middle of a match. The only rule I could find regarding the issue is G19:

However, the field is defined as:

Which means that leaving things ABOVE the field doesn't really count?

Could somebody please clarify?

why? just why?

Re: Balloons

If your aiming for lower weight, you could fill balloons with helium and pop them, so then just the gas leaves and not the balloon itself.

Maybe a variation on this strategy?

Re: Balloons

Keep G17 in mind as well (emphasis mine).

G17 ROBOT height, as measured when it’s resting normally on a flat floor, may not exceed 4 ft. 6 in.
during the MATCH, except during the final twenty (20) seconds of TELEOP where there is no height
limit when a ROBOT is fully contained by the opponent’s COURTYARD.
Violation: FOUL. If strategic, offending ROBOT will be DISABLED.

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 04:47.
