hmmm, we'll try this again... (last time it didn't post my message)

It's actually very cool to watch. I know 308 has a very simialr system of balancing from off the bridge, and it works quite well.

Both Beatty and 308 get both goals to the far side of the bridge. From there, a short set of arms hold one goal close the robot. On 308, the same arms extend around the goal and have a second set of pushers off them to hold the second goal. On Beatty, they have a second set of arms that fall down around the goal. From there, both machines just push the goals up on the bridge. And balancing the goal is easy, both machines have a arm the bridge hits against to stop it, so it balances really quick, they pull their arms out, and they run like mad.

I know 308 has some pictures of them balancing the goal up in the robot gallery, but I'm not sure about Beatty. I'm sure there will be picuters floating around of them after this competition.

: I'm curious to know exactly HOW they balance the two goals by themselves from off the bridge. That must be an awesome feat to see. I wonder how that would work if a stretcher were in the round also. And, do they limbo???
: And to the TechnoKats, I ENVY the use of the gyro.
: Anyway, it's good to hear updates as the regionals progress. Thanks to all!

: Just my personal thoughts...

: Chris, #368
