Hmm was last years bot stationary, or were you pushing against it with this years? Like the tires =) same we used this/last year

Looks like an engeneer in the back ground about to have a heart attack.

That's not much. Last years bot is top heavy and is on the ramp. It takes someone who knows about 5 things of physics can figure out that it would be easy to tip that over. But other wise, good wheels.

first of all I know a lil more than 5 things on physics. And i can say that bot is not top heavy. last time i checked air didn't weigh that much. That robot has never tipped over. and after this pic was taken the new robot was backin off and that old one righted itself. Maybe this picture doesnt prove the power we have. We'll just have to run your bot over later.

I'll take your word on this since you are on the team. I basied my assumption on other teams that had similar designs last year. All tiped over.

hmmm.. this little robot seems to be a knocker with the "flag" and long pole. i am guessing you are going to knock over the stack and sweep with the "flag". am i close????

Umm what are you talking about? I see no flag or pole. right now all they have shown us is a Chassis, theres no way we can tell what's going on top right now.

Ricksta: pushing a stationary bot off the top of the ramp is not very impressive, robots with very little power can do it. Back away from the ramp, and go full speed straight at the bot. Not to say you don't have a lot of power, but your test doesnt seem to show us much at all.

The 2003 robot hit the side of the 2002 robot, climbed up, and tipped it.

Congratulations.

Edit: You? Rub things in someone's face? I'd never imagine such a thing. . . :rolleyes:

i love all the sarcasm guys. keep it comin. just dont cry when i remember it all at champs.

*Sarcasm There's no sarcasm*

Well if your saying its similar to last years drive train then hey you guys got a very nice bot. (Visions of RiverRage 6 comes to mind a nice bot just not powerful enough when it actually faces some competition!!)

(If anybody has pics of the finals of River Rage 6 and knows what I'm talking about post it on this thread).
See you in Manchester guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He did! She did this!! Awww....

Ok fine, sorry about the comment. It's just that I've seen bots turn over before on the wire mesh (and even on flat surface) so it's nothing huge, but still, sorry about that guys.

Wanna cookie?

Where is the line?

So where does FIRST draw the line between ramming another robot and causing intentional damage? I'm rather concerned that we will cause damage if we run into other robots at full speed (probably about 17 mph).

Mike Schroeder

10-02-2003 23:21

if you hit the robot, first says that robots should be built to take a beating, but if you go out at a robot and keep beating it i would say they will DQ you

Davidka

11-02-2003 10:51

line

So, what if, during the first 15 seconds we go backwards full speed and ram the robot on the other side off the course? Built to endure, right?

Mike Schroeder

11-02-2003 16:39

i depends, are you intentionaly trying to damge the robot, the only way a team will be DQ'ed is if its shown to be intentional damage, lemme give you an example,

in 2k2 in one round at J&J my team released their mini me too earlly, so the other allinace decided to specifficly target our mini me, ran over it, backed up ran over it and did that all over again, and then spun around on it doing a happy dance, now the officals could have DQ'ed our team for "entanglment" but when your drivers are laughing as they purposly destroy a part of our bot, and the officals notice, then you will be DQ'ed, so the moral of hte story, is Gracious Professionalism, or dont laugh as you break the rules i cant figure out which, :D

yeah right, you wont be going 17mph. 17 fps maybe, but that is doubtful.
