Yep, it's called 1997. Actually we came up with the ideas without using those, but alot of good ring grabbing designs can be seen in that year's robots.

Possibly some sort of grabber thing that can pick up the rings wrapping around them would seem feasible. A hook would be a possiblity as well.

Secondly the audio visual cables run up through the rafters as well as electrical and lighting so Seargent Productions will have a cow if you clip one of their wires with your projectile. Thirdly we have a fabulous little gal if I do say so myself who most people refer to as the safety nazi and since I am that fabulous little gal I can guarantee you that I will be watching and waiting for just such an occurence and so will Jim Westmoreland aka GOD of the Referees. So I definitely think you might want to reconsider this. Thank you and use your creative ideas to come up with something that will not be a safety hazard or damage the facillity.

I know this would be a safety hazard and would not be a good thing to do, but just thought I would throw it out there cause it was something a few of us were joking about doing

a cool idea for a drivetrain:
Tankdrive w/shuffle
imagine your basic tank drive, with a pair of tracks mounted so that they are perpendicular to the other tracks --> |=| the second set of tracks are attached to a system of pneumatics that allow it to be raised or lowered. what results is a robot that has exceptional stability, traction, and mobility. if you can handle the engineering challenge that is...
