Re: Hanging robots and <G31>

I found this image of team 60's robot from 2004, and unless I am looking at it wrong, the robot would have to be facing the bar to attach to it, and according to the comments the hook starts attached to their ball grabber with velcro and the ball grabber is in line with the wheel base. Also, the tower does not extend past the base of the hump, so that robot would have to be sitting on the bump, facing the bar to attach to it, or am I completely wrong here?
edit: theoretically if the arm was on the extreme left or right of the bot, and the hook was positioned perpendicular to the arm, you could drive OVER the bump with the arm extended and the hook would snag the bar as you drove by.
