Re: Update #6

In 2006 we used a fish net to catch all the poof balls we shot, from our robot, in the pits.
Does anyone know where I can find a 50" diameter fish net :ahh:

Section 3 has been changed, and all teams with launchers and/or hybrid receivers should read the updated rules.

Thanks for the update, btw, nice new picture man.

Al, was that northern really 50" diameter? And was it the one that got away?

Richard,
I don't know how big it was, the net broke and it got away!

What really worries me is this:

Quote:

While your robot is in your team’s pit space any hybrid receiver must be disconnected from your robot.

The Molex headers used to attach to the OI are quite fragile and easily bent, and if teams have to unplug them after every match, we could see a lot of teams with bent/broken/loose connectors. Especially for teams that hot glue the PWM connectors together so that one doesn't come unplugged.

I understand the intention, but a properly programmed robot will only listen to the IR board in auto mode, and a robot in the pits should NEVER be in auto mode in the pits unless precautions are taken to make sure that it is absolutely safe no matter what it does (since a freshly programmed auto mode can do anything without warning).

Remember, the Robocoach can control the robot during Teleop mode.
