Re: Silly and ridiculous robot designs.

we have always wanted a helicopter for years yet come up with the bumper and weight issue just as your team did...

our most rediculous idea this year was to have a bot with a very long pipe that harnessed the power of a black hole to suction the balls, as the vacuume cups simply wont do. then we realised that it might just suck the balls up, which we figured wouldnt be too bad, then the field gone, then the entire verizon center and then it would suck our own bot into itself. thats when we knew we had a problem... that and the fact that i dont think we could get that much tubing into envelope...
