We were in a match against you, and we did move you guys. It would take some work to tip us over with our arm in the air...we aren't as frail as you think. If this were 2000, when we had that gigantic arm, I might have agreed, but not now.

[edit: it was match 62 and we moved you guys with our basket. You guys won because we messed up with the goals.]

hmm, maybe. i can't remeber anything anymore. :p i do remember seeing your basket full of balls almost tip the robot, twice i think. i do know that most of the robots could not move us though.

Since our back tires are filled with air, our robot sometimes jump when we are turning with a load of balls, but thats it...unless you are talking about that match with 353 when they had all 4 of our wheels of the floor.

On a different note, I think I did complement you guys at one point on your pushing power, but if I didn't I'll say it now: "You guys have awesome traction."

joel, he's talking about when i brought the basket up to score a few times, the robot tipped forward a little cause i didn't keep the CG over the base, but it wouldn't tip it out of comission. Even if we did tip, there is a limit switch override and we can rigth ourselves.

A Good Pairing

Hehe, thanks. :-)
Our robot preformed very well. (I was operating) When we were up on the field, the match was basically over for us in under 5 seconds. We flew out grabed the goals and locked down. It was funny cause after that it was basically all over. We'd watch other robots try and move us and we weren't budging! Those goals were staying in the zone no matter what.

I agree. One of the best pairings we came up with was playing with a good ball grabber. I would have wanted someone who could definetely push well and score lots of balls. We'd have two goals locked down and if we could score atleast 10 field balls and a couple human player balls we'd be set.
