Re: Programming Illiterate
Brain sucking is definately an option, but we're not really meeting up with other teams until we get it all figured out (then they can tell us what we did wrong!). , and that won't be until sometime...

Re: Damage to Innertubes
Well, I was just trying to figure out different strategies for the game and that just popped into my head.

center of gravity and energy
It says in the rules that energy can come from the altitude of the robot's center of gravity, what does that mean?

Re: Spikes
But is it supposed to come with only 4? And will it actually work for us if we don't buy more? And what are Victors?

Spikes
Ok, we need some help. The diagram for the electrical calls for 6 spikes, but the kit we recieved only contains 4. Is anyone else having this problem? If it is supposed to be layed out like this,...

Re: Damage to Innertubes
I was thinking that it might be useful if you could build an extension that deflates the innertube. If the other teams are busy focusing on how to manipulate the tubes when they are inflated, this...

Re: Innertubes
Darn it! I had an idea in the makings that was just shot to pieces. Well, it's a whole lot better to know now rather than later. Thanks!

Damage to Innertubes
It says in the rules that even if an innertube is deflated it is still in play, so they are expecting some to go flat. Is it illegal to un-/intentionally pop one?

Re: What Weight Class is Your Robot?
Oh, ok. So you could have a 4' robot in starting position and an extended arm length that can reach to about 9' and still be only in the 4' weight class?

Re: What Weight Class is Your Robot?
Rookie question- Home zone is the space directly up/down/around YOUR robot, right? Does the arm (if you are using one) once extended count into the height/weight limitations?

Re: Sprocket sleeve question
So basically, it's all a matter of what sort of resources you have to draw from and of your personal preferences. Cheap would be a preference for us, though. Thanks Billfred

Yes, we have the key, but we're a little worried it won't hold, so better safe than sorry. What are the pro's for the meal tubing as opposed to plastic? As a rookie team, we really want to...

Re: Sprocket sleeve question
Yeah, as a spacer. So you could just use a piece of plastic tubing or something of the sort? (*As long as it isn't disallowed...)

Sprocket sleeve question
what type of material for the shaft collar can we use so that the spocket does not move on the gear shaft

Team handbooks - they are like safety glasses... they seem stupid and a pain to wear, and they make it harder to see... but they seem important about 1 msec after a flaming hunk on metal bounces off them. - Not2B [more]
