Re: IRI Rule Changes - 2012

I see 3 ways 3 longs can triple balance...
1) The center robot gets pushed up sideways
2) 3 robots in long configuration
3 (the fun one)) Robot 1 balances the bridge and turns 90. Robot 2 pulls the bridge down to their side and climbs on. Robot 2 uses a stinger to level out the bridge. Robot 3 from the other side lowers the bridge and climbs on.

Needs:
1) 1 robot with low traction and 1 with high torque
2) 2 robots that can hang very, very, very far off (averaging 19" on the bridge assuming the center one is max and bumpers are not stacking)
3)1 robot with a stinger and 1 robot with a very powerfull bridge lowering device

548 also has a trick that we never used in the season, but I might get to pull out if we can't do any of these 3...

Not saying I like these rules, but they're not going to change so make the best of them!
