block thrown ball
you come around corner. other team is in the act of hurdling. do you race in front of him and risk your arm,forklift or whatever your using to block the throw? just another defence maybe.

You'd have to stay under 6 feet as they said, avoid impeding traffic, and there is the question why risk losing a scoring ability by tossing you manipulator in front of a 10lb flying object.

Re: block thrown ball
We've done the numbers, and it appears very difficult to "throw" the ball over the hurdle, nevermind controlling it on the other side.
Any throwing system will have to be very close the ground to prevent the bot from tipping. In additional, a simple potential energy to kinetic energy computation tells you that you have to hit one of these balls VERY hard to get them to move. 220 lbs of force applied over a 6 inch distance with a 2" bore 6 inch stroke pneumatic cylinder will get you pretty close, I believe. I can't wait to see someone try this - it would certainly be exciting and any team that takes the chance on that kind of system would get kudos from me! Even a spring/winch system will put some pretty awesome loads on your chassis. |

Read <G42> and <G43> also ... they discuss that "aggressive" bumping a HURDLER will be penalized ... |
