Re: Lifting after power is cut

I can tell you right now that we are planning on something like this. Pneumatics can be set to fire when the robot goes into disable mode. Alot of teams did things like this in 2005 to drop a tetra at the end of the mach. The way we look at it the match always ends when things come to rest. and a pneumatic shot only takes a couple seconds. In my mind this is the same as last year when balls were shot at the end of the round based on momentum of a wheel and counted or teams were climbing the ramp and their enegery carried them to the bonus.
