Re: Co-Operating for maximum hurdels

Quote:
Since you are picking the trackball off of the tracks, it never crosses the RED finish line.
Actually I now think this tactic is illegal, but not because of what you said.
the ball does cross the red finish line (see the attachment and description).

The problem is that you would get a penalty each time because the robots are extending their arms in the clockwise direction, and crossing lines in that way too.
This is prohibited and penalized.

If you could build a robot that could extend it's arm over one overpass, over the lane divider, and then place the ball on the other overpass, all inside the aforementioned 80" limit... (<R16>)
and you had two robots like that in one alliance...

then you could try this strategy out....
