Re: Are extensions with bumpers after the start of the game legal
It's a neat idea, but I just don't see it working in terms of "high speed offensive bot ramming the edge of yours"-type contact. 150 lbs of robot at 11+fps hitting the extended edge of a 42" moment arm = more torque than I can imagine any robot that can't grip the carpet (as no robot can) can handle.
Maybe I'm wrong. I've been wrong before -- very wrong -- when it comes to robot capability and any given FIRST game.
But you might want to consider that I'm not.
In LogoMotion, the best defense is a good, no, GREAT offense.
