Possibly a layout for some 3D photography?

A kitten-launching trebuchet? :ahh:

Or perhaps the ball of yarn for the kitten?

A hint: The structure for the actual object isn't drawn here. This is a simple sketch used to determine how to position things to make something like this work.

I'm making this challenge a lot harder than it needs to be, but that's because I want to learn!

OH OH I know what it is!

If this did look like what you were building it would be 254 from 06

I like where this is going. Literally.

I'll like where it's going when I see it driven on the field. ;)

Could it be this year's first successful hanging mechanism???

Re: pic: Vex @ IRI Teaser
 

Well I guess you'll like it, one way or another.

Sadly, the Vex game at the IRI does not feature a hanging element. It is a modified 1v1 version of Clean Sweep called "Swept Away". You can view the rules here: http://content.vexrobotics.com/docs/...l.20091014.pdf

I'd rather see it coming off the field as I am coming on. :p

Re: pic: Vex @ IRI Teaser
 

Too late for that. The Kiwis claim to have already put an autonomous high-hanging bot on the field in an official tournament.

Yea, I read that right after my post. I would have liked to have seen that. Interesting enough, that was in our game plans as well...
