Our team decided on a "U" shaped bot, with arms (that we found to be modular) that can stack, go under the bar, push, defend, and knock over other stacks.

A little bit of everything
Well, we, of course, have a multi-purpose robot, which I'm sure those of you who have seen us know. We push, we can stack, we go under the bar, and we play a good king of the hill. No, we don't launch boxes... But I don't think we really need to.
As for going under the bar, in the matches I have seen, it has proven to be a great mobility bonus. It is relatively common for a robot to block off the ramp, and these "limbo" robots often zip around and under the bar. As for totes in the way, well, smash them into a million pieces. I didn't mean that of course, just move them out of the way. Stacking is something that is not being done that much. It is very true that the stacks seem to always get knocked down, so even if you can stack, it's either pointless, or too time consuming. We have not stacked all of the time, but we have stacked a few times when it was going to make a nice point bonus and we knew we had time. Does anyone know of any reliable internal stacking robots? I really think that push power is the most used thing in this year's competition. Robots often "butt heads", and being the stronger robot is always a good thing. Plus it's nice to be able to move massive amounts of totes at one time. |

Combination == 47.74%
Notice the "winning" percentage!
A palindromic reflection of the number 47!!! Could this be a sign of things to come? AKA - a MARTUS-ism? ![]() |
