Re: How many robots on the bar in one match?

Can 2 fit on but it will take some very high tech movements? I'm sure when I'll watch the video I'll have a better idea but I just wanted your input. thanks and good luck to everyone : Kuli Three at most if they are wedged in tight (30'X3=90' - bar is 96'). OTOH, if they are 36' wide robots just 2. hmmm.. assuming robots are either 30' or 36' wide.. 2 30' + 1 36' = 96' unlikely - someone's going to have to look like a wedge. 3 30' = 90' if they are 'kindler gentler' robots. 2 36' = 72' a good strategy for a team to clog the center, or let the other guys give you 30 more points. 1 36' right in center and capable of gripping bar so he can't be slid along bar would clog up center for other 36' robots, but one side or the other a 30' could get by, unless something protrudes... )The Holy Grail of center clogging - the 60' long robot hanging sideways, with protrusions and a good grip. I don't see a realistic way to get to 4 robots, and I think 3 are unlikely, so I think most matches are going to be 1 or 2 robots hanging. This gets me thinking about a robot designed to sieze and control the bar. Interesting, da? Possibly a Juggernaut strategy, hardly capable of winning a match on it's own but the Perfect Companion for a high scoring qualifier winner, and gets picked for alliances all the time... Build a junkyard dog for the center bar. Donno, I think I'm leaning towards the 'goes off in the corner and quietly boosts itself up on 3 balls' solution, and let those crazies in the center tear up their equipment... )Sam |
