A Slightly Different Robot For Logomotion
 
Greetings,
My team came up with a slightly different approach to the game this year. Two words were kept in sharp focus during the planning and building: Simple and Consistent. I think we have succeeded. Here are a few quick looks at what we put together.

Note: The only big thing we have to add before we are "done" is the minibot deployment system.

We had the exact same words in our strategy, however those words were quickly forgotten by about week 3.

P.S nice bot and choice of music in the background

I think its a valid stratagey if you basicly can run the bottom rows very quickly and your partners can get the top and mid you can clean up quite well keep it up.

Thanks,
We hope that we fill a niche in the game that others have overlooked.

I like the risk you took. You'd be an exelent selection for a second pick 4-1 seed team that wants some points and some defense. Make sure your team sells yourself to all the teams during competition.

Good luck.

I think this will pan out. If our lift doesn't work, we'll probably just put the arm on a static plate and do this.

I still hope our lift works.

You also are going to be a heavy, low to the ground robot. The way it throws tubes around at low, low speeds, the sucker has to have a gloriously high momentum at high speeds. Might scare the other team off the field.

I wish you luck on this. Our team decided against this strategy, though I was the one pushing it, so im rooting for you!

I too am rooting for you! I was told early on that my desire to simplify the strategy of the game to make our build season easier was "constricting the engineering process". Something similar to this is exactly what I had in mind, heh. With some practice and a decent minibot, you guys will be a great carrier bot on an alliance!

It looks good. It's nice and simple and will hopefully fill that void that some team may forget about. Plus, if you have a fast minibot, you've got it! Nice work guys and good luck! :)

These were my thoughts exactly. Play as a feeder/defense/last minute scorer type of robot and you will surely find a place on some alliance.

We would be looking for a robot like this one ...but we might ask you to drop the tube in the zone and go and get another one... we can grab off the ground and get it to the 3rd wrung very quickly...

So you might think about your abilities as a shuttle robot too... I think a shuttle robot is great addition to an alliance and a shuttle robot that could also score on the low rungs is even better.

Great job!!
We hope to see you in St. Louis!!

Not a bad idea, and it looks like a well constructed robot so good job.

I do have to point out though, that chopstick like mechanism that you use to lift the tube doesn't seem to grasp them very securely. I may be missing something.

Have you practiced with a wall in between your drivers and the pegs they're scoring on? The lowest pegs are beneath the drivers, and they can be very hard to see from certain positions.
