Championship: Which type of robot are you?
 
In practice, what does your robot actualy do the majority of the time? Some teams designed theirs to be a tube scorer, but ended up playing defense most the time. Some designed it to be a hybrid ramp and tube scorer, but mostly scored tubes. Which does your team do in the majority of your matchs?

Tube Scorer - Robot scores tubes mostly.
Ramp bot - Robot lifts robots up mostly (I will assume you play defense while not lifting if your ramp only)
Defensive - Robot plays defense mostly.
Ramp climber - Robot climbs ramps mostly.
Hybrid: Tube scorer + Ramp bot - Robot that lifts other robots and score tubes mostly.
Hybrid: Tube scorer + Ramp climber - Robot that scores tubes and climbs on other robots (ramps or lifts).
Hybrid: Other - Other combinations of the 4 single categories as long as the robot does all of these in the majority of your matchs.


Please post your team number and your strengths and abilities.

Ramp climber.

We have a 12' platform at 14.5"
We can climb any bot that supports wide bots (36")

Team:2016
Hybrid:Tube Scorer + Ramp Climber
We can climb basically any ramp, and we can put 4 or 5 tubes on in a match. Plus we played some sick defense at NJ.

Team 47 Chief Delphi

Hybrid - Other
We can score tubes, be the ramp (holds 2 over 12"), climb other teams ramps easily, and play defense with the best of them.

No one can be/do everything at the same time, but if you are looking for a team that can truely do whatever is needed - keep us in mind.

Just to clarify: Your robot was doing all of these things regularly? It seems lots of teams CAN do everything, I am asking for what they actualy decided to use the most when down on the field. By saying you do all 4 of those things, then im going to assume that you have a very flexible bot that HAS been doing all 4 things regularly. (There is no doubt that you can do it, but did you?)

You missed defensive / ramp bot.


1824 is a defensive / ramp bot.

We have a powerful drivetrain an a very easy to climb and plenty of parking space for 2 @ 13-1/2" (a bit of extra height ;) )

See you all at the Championships. We're in Archimedes division

Team 379 is a defensive/scoring hybrid. We average 4 to 5 rings a match and can play some very tough defense. We are also able to climb pretty much any ramp out there. See ya in Galileo!

Sorry, I asumed but forgot to add that if you are a ramp bot only then you will play defense when not lifting. Its added into the description now :)

648 is a tube scoring ramp climber... however, I voted for tube scorer not realizing that that hybrid was just coined.

Re: Championship: Which type of robot are you?
 
team 141
score tubes on all three levelse
climb ramps if needed
two platforms, one on each side of the robot, both have front(22 degree) and side (20 degree) ramps
and we can push people

:)

i dont think ive missed anything

Re: Championship: Which type of robot are you?
 
Team 65:
We are about to score tubes as well as climb ramps at the Great Lakes regional the maximum number of ringers scored by our team alone was 7 as far as climbing ramps as long as the ramp is 30 degrees or smaller and at least 28 inchs wide we can climb you

Re: Championship: Which type of robot are you?
 
I almost put hybrid tube scorer/ramp climber, but I think tube scorer is more appropriate. We score well enough that we could likely score 1-2 tubes (or place/remove a spoiler) during the time it would take to climb a ramp. The majority of time the rack configuration is such that scoring an extra tube would give 32 or more points (out weighing the ramp bonus).

If it makes sense, we'll climb (we do it well) but we'd rather score.

As a secondary ability, we are very good at removing spoilers (and then finding a better place for them).

LV Regional - qualifying 9-0-0
LV Regional - overall 15-1-0
LV Regional Winning Alliance (with 254 and 1983; Cheesey Poofs and Skunk Works)

Yes, I understand your poll question.
Unfortunately what each team ACTUALLY did down on the field depended also on what their alliance partnerts could or couldn't do.
So, we ended up scoring in all of the matches when not getting beaten on by 2 or 3 at the same time, climbing up on other teams ramps when we needed to, we were the ramp when we had partners that weren't able to, and we played defense when we needed to.
What we actually did down on the field was dependent on the alliance strategy - which changed often to match the best attributes of each alliance we played with and against.

Hope this helps
Mike
