Techno Tick Tow

Well,

Nationals Practice is the first time we are going to try to run this little side show. We came up with the idea in pits at the New England Regional.

Basically it will run like this...

Qualifications:
We have a carpeted rig with a goal on it. The goal is attached to a load cell (a fancy spring scale) and is tied off to the test rig. Robots can come up, attach to the goal and give it a tug to register maximum pulling force on the goal. We will post teams attempts on the load cell.

Eliminations:
The top four pulls from each division will compete in an elimination tug-o-fun. With the goal in between two robots, each will pull and whoever gets the goal across the middle line, or whoever has more of the goal on their side of the carpet at the end of a 30 seconds wins.

Then divisional champions will battle each other on the Techno Tick Tug-O-Fun Carpet to decide the overall champion.

Awards and prizes will be given to divisional champions and overall champions.

Also the whole test rig will be available throughout the whole day to any team who wants to test the strength of their robot.

Good Luck, See you there.
