Re: Turning on the bridge

We are looking to implement something similar to this for Mount Olive. With our 6wd tank drive we can get roughly a zero degree turning radius. This would allow us to turn on the bridge for a triple balance. For this to work we would need two other wide bots on our alliance, and one with a great drive train. It would require the weaker bot to knock down the bridge and go up first, followed by us (we would need to be fully on the ramp before we could turn), and than have the strong robot push our robot into the center.

Obviously this is a perfect scenario and their are a lot of factors that play into this...but it should be interesting to see what happens at Mount Olive.
