That was us! I actually helped build that, unfortunately im not in the pic but it is fun to build them. We've built that arch quite a few times and actually knocked our biggest one over on some of our teammates useing our robot at our schools open house.:D

I don't see how it would be illegal to do. It would only be considered a stack of 4 or 5 though. I don't any FIRST robot could perform the arch building though, we don't have sophisticated enough materials in the kit.

If you had REALLY FAST and REALLY AMAZING human players it could be done with the 8 on your alliances side, But that might be considered illegal since they aren't all stacked right side up one ontop of another... so that might be what Ben was refering to.

Right, Josh.....

If they gave the human players 10 minutes instead of 10 seconds (maybe less) it might be possible ;)

Plus yes, since all the bins aren't stacked correctly this would be a penalty

The bins must be totally nesting in the scoring zone to count. The bin bottoms must also be touching completly on the ground.

Geeze, how many times have you heard that before? :rolleyes:

Sorry, misunderstood, thought he had meant a robot performing the stack.

nice!!!

I am a Stl resident, and my school is adjacent to the science center. Heh, we even lend them our lot for big events, and I've done that arch many times. Its wicked fun to knock it down.
