Re: Outside the box defense

At the start of match #49 at VCU, in autonomous mode, our robot got clotheslined by a spider and we were hung up on the rear bar on our frame with all 4 wheels off the ground. Before we could resolve this issue, we were tipped so that our ramp and chassis blocked 4 scoring positions, and we could lower and raise our ramp to slap the spider arm, making it harder to score.

Watch match #49 at VCU on soap.circuitrunners.com. The clip starts with us already halfway to the rack.

We call it "jumping to hyperspace".
