Re: Ball Capacity? How Much is Too Much? And Can You Use It For A Strategical Advanta
Are team wants to surprise everyone at VCU so I don't want to give to much a way about all the magic but I believe that our robot can hold around 9 to 10.
Just a question to all of the teams that are saying that they can hold 20+ orbital balls where are you finding the space to do all of this? We have tried to maximize all of the area we are allotted per the rules while still keeping it KISS.
Throughout the weeks that we have already gone through our robot design has changed substantially based on; Delphi talk, our very giving engineers and mentors, as we did all of this the slop in the robot that could be used for electrical and other stuff... started to become small and few in between. Which means that we have had to start to become creative to get everything we want into the robot to fit in the space. (Which is never a bad thing because that is the fun part about FIRST the challenge of building a robot) Anyway with all of the space saving and magic inside of the robot we can still accomplish our game goals (we think, although no one really knows whats going to happen) throughout the match with the set up that we have.
I personally feel that the robots that keep everything simple and are able function in any environment no matter the situation (robots that can change on the fly,in the pits, or on the ice ha ha ha) will succeed because of the easily adaptable robot.
