Relaxed bumper rules ...

you still have to match them to alliance color :(

I know! I thought that the minibots were fun and it was a really good way for the FRC teams to team up or learn a little about FTC Teams. I was hoping they were going to make us build a FLL Minibot... But no.

so happy to minibots go bye bye...

Re: Official Rebound Rumble Thread
 

Okay so I'm a member of 2171 and we've been picking through the rules and a question popped up. Hypothetical: If a robot has a six wheel drive system (center wheels lower then other four) could we have a either pneumatic or driven rod system on one or both sides that lower and contact the floor to steady the robot? This would be helpful to know for the end of the game when you have to balance on the platform seeing as how a six wheel system without stabilizers would be a teeter totter on a teeter totter. Any input would be helpful.

Re: Official Rebound Rumble Thread
 

I wonder if we could program the gyroscope to auto balance the robot.

Re: Official Rebound Rumble Thread
 

Davidthefat was thinking of using a weight balancing mechanism where the battery and some essential hardware is built on a platform where it is actuated by a window motor. So the weight of the robot can be shifted anywhere from the back to the front of the robot.

I like the game, it's simple, yet engaging, and will likely be visually pleasing to spectate. I, for one, will miss the delay at the end of the game for the score to be confirmed, it adds suspense and makes everything much more intense. I'm sad to see minibots go, too, but the balancing aspect looks like a good opportunity for lots of points.

Question: I searched the manual and I can't tell how many balls are available total. There are two on the "Coopertition platform" and up to two in each robot, but are there any in the corrals at the start of the game?

Re: Official Rebound Rumble Thread
 

[G05] says each bridge gets 2 basketballs. Plus 2 per robot, that's 18 total. No mention of any others, so I wouldn't expect there to be any others.

Re: Official Rebound Rumble Thread
 

where do you get the cut list for the field pieces

Re: Official Rebound Rumble Thread
 

No Ranking Points!

Re: Official Rebound Rumble Thread
 

I honestly think that this game is pretty awesome (wanted a basketball game so bad) The game is hype, easy to understand, and presents a challenge. I agree it's break away and aim high but with a twist. Rebound Rumble I see alot of people going back to reference other games. Excited to see manipulators and how people will score.

Re: Official Rebound Rumble Thread
 

The game seems really fun this year. The team is really focused and hard at work this year!

Re: Official Rebound Rumble Thread
 

I dont like the game so much, but the stuff they're allowing this year will be interesting. Kinect, something like 22 motors on the robot. Should make the build season occipied to last minute for engineering and programming :deadhorse:
