Re: Car Nack Prredicts 13-1

I think we will hardly see any 30 point climbs at most regionals this year.
The problem wont be that teams cant climb, I find the problem to be creating a robot that can do it, without breaking the 54" cylinder rule while climbing AND having a robot that scores discs.
It seems that the limitations this year has almost forced teams to create a one function robot.
Of course, you have the teams that can/will do everything and well. However, that wont be the majority of teams participating this year.
The footprint rule constraint which includes the bumpers is a challenging one, especially when we see shooter designs that take up almost the entire 112" perimeter as well.

Thank God for SolidWorks.
