Same thing happened alot at PNW regional...

Re: pic: FRC 2108, 540
Tons and tons of robots have gotten stuck up on the rack. Some have actually tipped over.
|
Re: pic: FRC 2108, 540
The VCU triplets also seemed to get stuck on the rack quite often. The Hokies (401) got stuck also, and were then tipped over by the opposing alliance.

Re: pic: FRC 2108, 540
has anyone else noticed noticed that we havn't seen much of the dreaded yellow card.
at GSR bots were slaming into each other, but i didn't see the card until the finals. even then it was for bad sportsmanship not robot violence. antway cool pic hope your bot was ok and that is my observation one of the new game elements. |

Yeah, that Rack is actually starting to scare me, its tricky business trying to score without getting caught on the rack, especially while you have defense on your bot. I almost had a heart attack a couple times seeing how close we got to tipping after being hooked on the spider feet, but thankfully we haven't tipped happened yet, even with our 10 foot tower sticking up the entire match. Hooray for low CG's!
Nice move "unsticking" your alliance partner. I always love it when I see robots uprighting other bots, like that time when I believe 25 kept 968 from tipping at the championships last year. That was insane :eek: |
Re: pic: FRC 2108, 540
Great example of teamwork, Congrats on the win guys

Re: pic: FRC 2108, 540
Team 843, our Canadian friends, got a yellow flag for going into the other teams player zone. Thats why we were DQed.
|
Re: pic: FRC 2108, 540
we were on 414's team when they got that yellow flag. I didn't see anything wrong with what they were doing. It wasn't anything that i didn't see 10 times before that match and 15 times after. I wish someone would define "agressive defense" for me. they weren't tipping or ramming from a large distance.
|
Re: pic: FRC 2108, 540
I guess that Lisa (Head Ref at VCU) just decided that 414 had been too aggressive with their defense throughout their qualification matches. Maybe she just wanted to prevent 414 from getting themselves into the situation of accidentally tipping another bot and being DQed.

Re: pic: FRC 2108, 540
Is this the part where 540 got stuck on the rack?

The DQ was for the team that tipped 401 after 401 became stuck on the rack. A DQ only lasts one match, the team can come right back and play in their next match. If their alliance wins the match that they were DQed in, the team that was DQed does not get credit for the win. |
Re: pic: FRC 2108, 540
The team that got the DQ was attempting to right 401. they had this wedge shaped front end that just tipped them over.

Hope nothing got "crunched" (We were involved in a major flipping at the rack) |
Re: pic: FRC 2108, 540
Bad webcast-capture, but it gets the point across.
![]() It's not apparent in the video, but all 4 of our wheels are off the ground. That was actually a good thing, since the autonomous code kept running the wheels for a few seconds longer. In all honesty, 2106 (or whoever tipped us) really shouldn't have been DQed. We were stuck, and the only way down was... down. If they didn't push us, the swinging of the spiders would have knocked us over anyways. It's actually rather beautiful how we were right at the tipping point yet we didn't go over. That, and we proved to the world how strong the rack actually is. |
Re: pic: FRC 2108, 540
Heres a pic I got of 401. The back of their frame is on the ground, but none of the wheels. (I cropped and zoomed in)

Re: pic: FRC 2108, 540
That happened to up but we were playing defence. We had the other robots claw pinned between our robot and the spider leg. (they were trying to put on a ringer) when they got free the rack swung back and we flipped. oh well. we only broke our claw, an easy fix.
|
Re: pic: FRC 2108, 540
Wow. How did they get up there?

Re: pic: FRC 2108, 540
My bad. I'm pretty sure it was 21-something though.
It was a ramp bot that looked like a bulldozer. Whatever the case, it's irrelevant now. VCU is long over and we won the match anyways. |
