Re: 2010 Breakaway Competition
In one of our matches we "won" 12 to 0... then we found out one of our alliance partners got 11 points in penalties. We won 1 to zero :(
I also loved last years game, it was excellent to watch,...

Re: Best Robot of 2010

And was 8-9 points about the average in elims?
Can they sweep balls into the goal efficiently?

Re: How does 469 not violate <R19>?

Re: How does 469 not violate <R19>?
You are correct, they go underneath the tunnel partially, and have a spring- board that pushes up against the tunnel to wedge them in place. Then their mechanism unfolds.

Re: Best Robot of 2010

Re: Best Robot of 2010
148 and 217 actually almost cannot be pushed around once the treads are put down. You need a powerfull bot to do so. If you've watched a regional you can tell the tremendous difference once treads...

Re: Team 217 - Thunderchickens
Thank you Squeakypig. But I have to say that your robot this year is very impressive for a second year team, and you will be an incredible competitor in a couple years. You already are. I wish you...

Re: How does 469 not violate <R19>?
And btw, even if you block their funnels, sure the balls wouldn't score, but then you've still got those balls in the teams homezone... ready to be eaten by say 217 ;)

Re: How does 469 not violate <R19>?
It is legal because the 'mechanism' above the bumpers is not active, the only active piece is the part that changes which goals the balls will score to, and that only changes when the balls are NOT...
