Here is how it works

In Reply to: Some speculation of what it does.

I'm not as evil as Mike. I will tell you a little more details.

We call our robot configuration a "ramp-bot". Its main function is to grab an edge of the bridge and hold it in a horizontal position while other robots drop off goals on the bridge. Here is a sequence of events:

1) We position ourselves on the far side of the bridge, grab the edge and reset the bridge.
2) A robot pulls the goal up the bridge from the player station side as we allow it to come down to horizontal. Then they just drop off the goal on the bridge and drive off over our robot (we are a ramp).
3) Meanwhile, on the far side, another robot is ready to push the 2nd goal onto the bridge by driving over us. They drop it off at an approximate location. and stay on top of us.
4) We test for balance and have the robot on top of us move the goal if necessary to a better balancing position. Once balanced, we drive to the endzone with the robot on top of us.

Of course, we hope the goals can also be filled up with balls before they are dropped off on the bridge.

So, in the spirit of this year's theme of teamwork, we facilitate a large multiplier and RELY on other teams to score the balls and handle the goals.

And, we are also working on an arm that attaches as an accessory and grabs balls, just in case someone can balance the bridge better than us. We remove the ramp and add the arm. We only have the 2 globe motors left; so we will use the pnuematics for this arm.
