Vertical Pipe Hanging

[hektormagee]

Hey, I'm from Team Rush. If you didn't know, our robot hangs itself by grabbing onto the vertical pipe and flipping over itself. I only know of the following teams that do this:

27 - Team RUSH
33 - Killer Bees
148 - Robowranglers
217 - Thunder Chickens
1114 - Simbotics


Am i missing anybody?

217 and 148 removed theirs to improve their driving.

1633 drives up the pole. I think 359 has the ability but doesn't use it.

Teams 25, 75 and 1403 all hang from the side bars.

78 hangs from the side bar, but doesn't flip.

Maybe I'm in the wrong thread here, but does anyone have a video to show of a robot "driving" up a pole. I think I know what your talking about, but need to see it in action.

BTW: In a match at SVR, 254 was scoring a ball with 10 seconds left, then drove to the tower, lined up and hung with 4 seconds still left in the match. This was on Friday at their first comp. I bet they will get this manuever (depending on defense of course) down to just a few seconds. VERY FAST!!

Look at this video starting at 2:28 to see 78 drive up the side pole. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc4mw8YvBLw

Correction: Team 75 hangs from the horizontal top bar, as witnessed here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/35278

Add 612 to the list.

I don't know. All I know is that some time after their videos came out, someone from one of those teams came out and said that they were removing their hangers to use the weight to make improvements in the drivetrain.

As of the cass tech district we played them in, they could not go under the tunnel. It is very unlikely that they can now due to the height of the robot at cass tech. but if they do, kudos to them.
