It's definitely not perfect- as I mentioned in the first line of my message- but it's what I'd do if I could do it all over again.
And to stop a clever team like yours that doesn't need that much space on the puck, I'd do like Ursus de Mortus (sp?) did in the CA regional and just drop some PVC arms down to occupy that puck space.
After a weekend of floppy tossing I realized that my design makes total sense because the floppies are so easy to throw. :-Dan


: OK, here is what I have to say:
: Our robot used a system to climb the puck that would allow it to climb
: the puck even with your robot on it. It's not easy to explain. Basically
: we climb the puck and then not completely on it just raise our backwheels
: to be off the ground. (We don't use the poles though... it worked really
: good. We had only one match at the Midwest Open, not ending up on the puck)
: Our design also lets us move the puck while being on it, we just have to
: raise the backwheels to again be off the ground. So your robot would allow
: us to get the 2-multiplier and the 3-multiplier for being on the puck.
: but your idea is not bad though ;-)
