pic: Grr's Arch
 

lol :-) I think we helped a bit, and we even got a picture of our robot underneath it for our advertising us for alliance partner.

That's pretty sweet...now remove the lexan sides :D

there was a picture a while ago after building season of an arch that was built not on the ramp...so they didn't have the help of the lexan sides

yeah we built the arch with out the sides a while back, but we decided to give it a try here.

Remember, the HDPE is a much lower friction surface then what the other team built theirs on.

I think that I also remember seeing that they were on carpet which would help...:cool: I'm to lazy to find that pic.

I saw that being built and they randomly asked me to take a picture of them underneath it. 7 more pics til I finish the roll and develop it though. If you're the one who asked me to take the pic send me a message and I can mail you the picture.

Here is that original pic.

wow! some people have too much time...so u wanna try to build a bigger one at the nats?

You gonna build a bigger one at the Championships (not "Nats"!)? That could be fun. Then someone else would build a bigger one. And then...

Hmmm. Bigger arches... More bins... Mumble mumble. Mutter mutter.

/me goes off in corner to think about next year's game...

Please don't make our robots build arches.:(

NO!! BAD DAVE!!!

thinking is bad, you might hurt yourself (or worse, us, when we bash our heads into walls next january :p).

Hmmm ... multiplier arches?? That could be interesting :D
Or perhaps we have to weave in and out of various-sized arches without knocking them over? ... in Autonomous mode??

/me goes off before I give dave a diabolical idea for next year

Much like Cricket... hey some of the Boom-stick bots can be used as cricket poles... Dave, don't come back to this thread :)
