Re: Letting robots on top vs getting on top of robots

I think a lot of teams are coming up with the same ideas, since a ramp is the easy kind of robot to build. You will definitely see alliances of three ramp bots, so sanddrag's comment is all the more notable - can yours climb a ramp too? Don |

For the love of all that is holy, people, please don't build robots that are micrometers short of the legal footprint. Go an inch smaller in all dimensions and you'll have a happier time fitting your robot onto someone else's, should you need to do that. |
Re: Letting robots on top vs getting on top of robots
Thanx for starting this thread our team 2028 was wondering about this, we're not quite sure how we're going to work this but so far have thought about letting people on us, or taking a few penalty points and setting ramps up for the other bots, it works out to be a significant amount gained. but we aren't sure

Re: Letting robots on top vs getting on top of robots
Our robot would be able to climb other robots we plan on using mainly the same drive train as last year but we plan on being able to let others get on us as well. Our robot would be able to do either or. Plus our drive train is a really powerful one so we could basically man up on the other teams top scorer and take them outta the match

Re: Letting robots on top vs getting on top of robots
We will be using a replica of a chassis we built in the off season.
After playing around with this chassis today, we found that it could climb a 15-20 degree slope. Keep in mind that this thing has a ground clearance of about an inch and was not designed for climbing. As to whether we will be climbing or climbed, we are not yet certain. But it is most likely that we will be focusing most of our attention on ringing. |
Re: Letting robots on top vs getting on top of robots
im pretty sure that my team is planning on trying to accomplish both carrying a robot and possibly if needed, climbing on another one. we plan on using ramp method.. as far as i can tell from our last meeting...

Re: Letting robots on top vs getting on top of robots
What about a 'bot that others could link onto, and then LIFT both of them?
Wouldn't that be interesting? Windwarrior Mentor-Team 17777 |
Re: Letting robots on top vs getting on top of robots
what happens with this poll if your thinking that your robot will do both???

Re: Letting robots on top vs getting on top of robots
I think the only real way teams are going to stack is by using a ramp system.
Not to sound too cynical or anything but lets face it I highly doubt any team is going to let another team try to pick up their robot with an arm. There's just too much that can go wrong and take them out of the competition. |

Re: Letting robots on top vs getting on top of robots
What about four long pneumatic pistons that would lift the bot so another bot can drive under it. It's easier than a lifting device. The rods would be in danger though, so the cylinders could push down aluminum rods that lift the bot. Once a bot is underneith, raise the rods.
