Re: A salute to simplicity

In one of the qualifying matches at Wisconsin, we did our kamikaze routine against 1625, who could sink 8+ balls in auto from the starting position. We hooked the corner of their robot with our cut off front bumper and our robot swung around to push straight against theirs. The front end of both robots went up, and stopped at about a 30 degree angle when the time ended. Another 1/10 of a second and we both would have tipped. We were able to back out under operator control. We then switched our kamikaze mode to go backwards so we wouldn't tip.
