i wish i had this idea before the ship date
 
would it be possibe for a team to score 90 points during the endgame?

because if they had hooks that raised them and two robots up twelve inches off the ground by hooking onto the glass sheild thing. is there a rule prohibiting this?

what are your ideas?

Clasping onto part of the field is prohibited.

There's a few rules against that, <G32> and <G33> come to mind

Specifically, <G56>. (although <G32> and <G33> are also good for this)
Quote:

<G56> ROBOTS in HOME ZONE - ROBOTS score bonus points at the end of the match if they are entirely in their HOME ZONE, not in contact with any element of the field (carpet, alliance station, goal etc.) and the lowest point of the ROBOT is higher than 4 inches and/or 12 inches above the carpeted field surface. The number of bonus points an ALLIANCE receives is based on the total number of ROBOTS satisfying these conditions....
The "glass shield thing" happens to be the alliance station wall.

Hmmmm what if the team found a way to hook to the ceiling of the arena and raise themselves up? That was my idea from the start. The whole batman idea

That sucks. But you gotta admit everyone would be in shock if someone came out and did that

How would you even get a strong enough arm 50 feet into the air, anyway?

Winch and catapult. Maybe a small rocket. If you must use an arm, you will likely be overweight.

Pneumatic hook launcher attached to winch. Then pick yourself and 2 other robots up and repel down upside down w/o dropping the 2 robots and then you'll be batbot.:p

Hmm... somehow I don't think rockets would get past the rules in the first place... But definitely a catapult.

Your drivers must have fun trying to see through the side ramps.:rolleyes:

Ya that was the first thing we thought of after kickoff. But then we found out for the points to count the robots must not be touching the walls or game pieces.

Re: i wish i had this idea before the ship date
 
Well my first thought was batman but than i figured we would have no way to get it working

Well, of course now that the robot is actually built, those ramps are closer together...

Hmmm pretty nice looking. Even though it would be cooler if you had it driving around looking like batwings
