If a drill motor is enough to lift Woodie, then maybe, just maybe, all motors used together, would provide enough to lift a light robot off the ground.
Just don't forget to land BEFORE testing out mysterious big red buttons in the human player station.

: hi,
: My team and i was wondering if it was legal to design a robot that could take off and land like a helicopter, doing away with a drive system and not having to worry about the ramp at all. With this design, we can do a number of things easily...like pick up the strecher and fly it accros to the other side, or pick up the ball and put it on top of the goal or put the goal on the bridge to balance. I think this would be a great idea if it is allowed in the rules.
: Check out our blueprints that our team designed.
: Comments?
: thanks
