The Beast is Awesome

The people on that team are so nice to talk to, they will tell you the truth everything on their robot.

We played against them and won, here's how

They are pretty quick off the line as are we. When they use the wheels they have some air cylinders with some type of teflon disk on the front that they slide over the carpet on until they retract them and engage the feet. We figured that since they latch automatically on all 3 goals and when they had them our robot couldn't do anything (Though some tanks were able to move them sideways) our strategy is to hit the center goal (~2secs) then take it and run into them which causes it to immediately engage. At this point they have not reached the outside two but they have to put the feet down to get the traction otherwise our backup was to spin sideways and change their orientation. It worked, with raw speed not power, I have also seen raw power pushing on an outside goal do it also. What a fantastic robot that was designed way outside of the box that others were designed to. Go Beast!!
