Re: 2012 Kickoff Discussion
 
Does anyone have a link to the game animation? I missed the 2nd half of it as the webcast cut out on my end.

Re: 2012 Kickoff Discussion
 
I'm confused, so each team has 3 inbounders, right? One of them is playing Kinetimals while the others are doing nothing, but when teleop activates, does that inbounder run to their alley window, or is one of the other inbounders already there? Are the other 2 inbounders passing balls to the window?

Please elaborate.

http://youtu.be/A_3pKX-ch7k is the one I uploaded; there's probably better quality copies floating around at this point but that's workable.

So...anyone else thinking of just building a robot that just blocks the other teams hoops *except for the high hoop cause we can't reach.

Can a human player throw the ball into the basket?

Goin' over ya. That's a 18" hoop, 6" off the backboard, horizontal. You can't go more than 14" horizontally from your Frame Perimeter, and the Fender starts 38" from the wall. 18"+6"=24", +14" =3 8". You can't block the hoops from a shot coming in from above without getting on top of an 8.25" tall sloped Fender.

:D It's all about the math.--Mark Leon:D

When in the match are you asking? Take a look at rule [G32]. I don't see anything prohibiting a human player from trying... under the conditions of [G32], though, there's a time to try it.

Are there any rules that prohibit crossing the vertical boundaries of the fender?

Has anybody found what the material of the ramps in the actual game will be? The team drawings show to use plywood, but what will they be in the actual game?

I haven't found any. However, there is a rule governing extensions beyond the Frame Perimeter--Specifically, no more than 14 inches. The Fender is sloped on the top, and the short side is higher than any vertical surface that's been climbable in FIRST history (besides the bars, which have had little or no vertical surface).

Besides, given FIRST history, I would expect that as soon as a "climb on the Fender to defend the goals" strategy goes public, the next team update will specifically disallow it.
