3 Questions!!! (2/2/04)

[Andy Grady]

Hi all, here are today's 3 Questions...

1. What type of Speed Controllers were used for the robots in 1997?

2. Name 4 robots that had the ability to steal balls out of the goal in 2000 that were in the elimination rounds at the National Championship.

3. What robot used a suction cup on a tether to secure the ball in the 3 point rail in 1998?

Sorry about the lack of standings, I hope to do so tonight depending on when I get out of class. Crazy weekend with the Patriots winning the superbowl and all...you know how it is

Good Luck!

You guys were still pretty good at it. Take a look at qf1m2 on this page. Watch as teams 47 and 45 work together to get rid of a 5 pt. ball as time expires. This move turned an 18-15 loss into a 15-13 victory. One of the cooler things that I've seen at a FIRST competition.

Good Luck!

I am going to try my luck on this question:

Team 16, 25, 47, and 131. 16 had a roller that could steal ball from the side of the goal, 25 had an arm extended from the bar to the top of the goal, 47 had a basket that could get balls from the top of the goal, and 131 had a lift with a little arm that take balls from the top of the goal.
