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 : Since the ramp is 8 feet wide, and the robots are about 3 feet wide, it would seem that you can easily get two of them side by side. : Then, if you consider robots that might be designed so that they do not have to be directly under the bar in irder to grab it, you would be able to have two robots sitting on each side of the ramp attaching themselves to the bar.... : Now, if all 4 of those robots attached on, and pulled themselves up all at the same time, you could see 4 robots hanging.....albeit hanging up against each other at that point. (Hanging at an angle from the bat, and bumping against each other at their bases) : I am not a Mechanical Engineer, and I suppose it depends on whether they grab the bar closer to the center, or towards the ands....but I wonder if the bar could actually hold about 500 pounds? (Anyone know?) : I would love to see the above senario attempted! : -Quentin Don't forget that teams are now allowed a 6 inch bumper on either side. That adds up to another 12 inches beyond the footprint! ! Harold |
