You could help our team. An out of state mentor would be great!

Re: FTC
 

that would ensure a good strategy too..if you put the paired ones across court in your 2 zones ..and then hung on the bar..it would be harder for your opponent to move it into their zone.

Re: FTC
 

I might be taken locally. sorry, maybe next years draft will go your way... :p

Re: FTC
 

is that directed towards me?

Re: FTC
 

negative.

Re: FTC
 

I viable stradegy for defense would be to trap a bot in the conner by moving the double goal in front of them and keeping the bar low. Even when the bar is high it's only 15in from the ground so any 18inch high robots won't be able to go under it.

Re: FTC
 

Perhaps they didn't want you to be reminded too much of last year's game...:D

Re: FTC
 

Nothing says you cant hang on the bar either. That would make it harder to move so maybe when you get the ends in you base you hang on it to and it might stay in place easier.

Re: FTC
 

Wow - there are so many different aspects to this game that it is hard to figure out how the game will play out.

Re: FTC
 

This is a great game, can't wait to see how it will play out. I would just like to point out the great job the FTC Game Design Committee did with the rule book, keeping the number of rules to a minimum and making it really easy for teams to get into and fully understand the game. Lets just hope in January we can see a rule book in the same style and length.

Re: FTC
 

But it would be so much fun to hang again :]. maybe we should just do it to do it

Re: FTC
 

when does that draft open, have to tell the agents to get on top of the ball next year!

Re: FTC
 

We were looking at the rule book and i noticed that one of the "specific" rules was that you can't remove ringer from the post. What about from the base?
If anybody knows can you reply?

Re: FTC
 

It doesn't say anything about removing them from the base so I would assume it's legal. Especially since it declares you can't remove them from the posts. Also I would expect that rings would accidentally fall off when moving the platform around. For an official answer ask the FIRST Q&A forum when it opens.
