Will we see a wall robot?

84" is a huge max config, a team can basically block a whole rack, and make it a total pain to score..

If I was 3x as wide as you, I don't care how fast you were... I could block you all day.

I'd name him wall-E :D

Why haven't we seen a wall robot yet?

Look up 3553, their robot "Dragonfly" is as close to a wall as anyone is going to make.

I was thinking they should put up a net to block feeder tosses.

!!!!!!!!!
That would be awesome. Seeing as there is no max height throw up a 20 ft wall

then again you'd want to be careful not to block yourself I've wanted to see a robot tosser that takes tubes and throws it to the other end. If they landed on a peg they would count :)

Does anyone know where a video of 3553? If you can that would be nice:)

Re: Will we see a wall robot?

great strategy for a younger team!
I wonder if they can pull the wings back up, it would be nice to play defense for most the match and then go deploy the minibot. also i'm curious to see if they play defense on a minibot tower too.

According to other/pictures/videos/descriptions the wings are attached to pneumatic cylinders so they can be deployed and lifted.

If they get mini-bot deployment up and running, they might be the first rookies to see Einstein since 1902.

Actually, 3138 and 3357 made it to Einstein in 2010 and 2753 made it to Einstein in 2009. All of those teams were rookies when they won their divisions.

It's doubtful we'll see a wallbot.

If you call 3553's robot a wall, then a wall wouldn't necessarily violate this rule. If you watch the youtube video above then you can see that their "wall" is not high enough to obstruct anyone's vision.
