Blocking Shooting Robots
 

does anyone have any ideas of how you can block the center goal scoring robots

specifically shooting

Re: another question
 

Sit in front of them?

Re: another question
 

Well, that wont really work because there shooting over you. You could either "nudge" them off course, or you a team flag. but I'm not + on the flag because i glances over a post using the flag as an idea. Could some one "enlighten" me on the flag thing?

Re: another question
 

wht about if their shooting mechanism is right at 5'

Re: another question
 

It will be like basketball. The only way a robot can shoot over yours is:

1. if they are taller than yours or

2. the ball comes out of the top or the back of the robot, where you cant get in their robo-face.

if you plan to defend your goals by blocking, that will be interesting. Your bot will have to be able to take a 12M/S shot to the head, repeatedly, and stay on its feet.

Re: another question
 

And your 5'? Well point taken. But most likely there "shooter" is angled so most likely it would fly over you.

KenWittlief Is right, but if it is in the front yes you could stand in front of the opposing robot AND get in there robo-face.

Re: another question
 

i know i could find this in the manual but could put a net over their cannon as long as its within the 5' foot limit

? like on there robot? i think in the manuel it says you can't entangle a nother robot..On moment ill look it up.

Re: Blocking Shooting Robots
 

Mount a large fan on the top of your robot and blow there balls out of the way. Just a thought, probably won't work.

Ehehehehehe....

Re: Blocking Shooting Robots
 

not exactly on their robot but jsut over it i mean

Re: Blocking Shooting Robots
 

Push them around, and spoil their aim. Just don't knock them over.

Re: Blocking Shooting Robots
 

I agree - that is probably the easiest and best way.

Re: Blocking Shooting Robots
 

There is the idea to extend a sheet over them at exactly 5' up which probably no shooter will touch exactly. Outside of that i'm all for the fan idea, i even think it would work, I just don't think any robot here needs any more spinning parts this year ;).

This is a contact game for a reason.
