Re: [FTC]: NEW ROBOT DESIGNS!

Hi all,
We are rookie Team this year in St. Louis, seems the shoulder/Arm/Wrist is popular. we have that basic design but are having serious stability issues, Tip over danger, motor torque and other challenges. the U-Channels are just too heavy. is it true that if your bot tips in competition, the referee will set you back up?

what areas of the competition are you focusing on?

We jumped right into getting rings on pegs. I was suggesting a bull dozer approach. if time is running out, easy points could be earned by pulling all rings to the floor and sweep them to the center board.

what other quick and dirty point gains would you suggest for Rookies?
