Team Update 4
http://usfirst.org/uploadedFiles/Rob..._Update_04.pdf
Good: Passing tubes in the air is legal! Woo hoo! This is seriously cool and I'm really glad this happened. Bad: Mini bot rules AGAIN. FIRST craftily outlaws "prepunched" aluminium and overtly states that supporting FIRST means giving money to Lego: Quote:

Re: Team Update 4
"<G39> ROBOTS and FEEDERS may not SCORE on opponent's PEGS or de-score opponent's GAME PIECES." LOL thought that was kinda a given.
And "<G49> ROBOTS may not attempt to POSSESS a GAME PIECE that is being POSSESSED by an opponent another ROBOT." Seems to me you cant hunt people down for tubes anymore, well back to the drawing board ![]() |

Re: Team Update 4
You can have a robot play Quarterback and pass to other alliance members. I've personally been looking into an efficient shooting system myself.

"<G49> ROBOTS may not attempt to POSSESS a GAME PIECE that is being POSSESSED by an opponent
We've always been able to throw, the trick had been close-proximity passing between robots. Previously <G49> outlawed any two robots possessing the same game piece; now it's just between opposing robots. (You can hand-off, just not steal.) We were hoping this'd happen! Tangent: still no maximum force on the minibot target. Still a little worried they're going to regret that... Last edited by Siri : 21-01-2011 at 20:20. Reason: tangent |

Re: Team Update 4
This rule already existed, just before it applied to your partners as well.

Its Funny how a sIngle statement can make you lose any and all respect you once had for a group or entity. Just sayin', interpret that as you wish.

Re: Team Update 4
Apparently because I prefer to support a different mid-level robot program I no longer support FIRST. Thanks GDC for clearing that up.
I will continue to support FRC but I won't be supporting FIRST anymore. Please tell Dean that I will not be calling my team a FIRST robotics team. |

Re: Team Update 4
Its the "and their kits" part that gets me. We're supposed to use the money we've raised to buy kits for a completely different program just to make sure the producer of said kits stays profitable?

Re: Team Update 4
Well, if the score gap was really large, and you had some extra pieces left in your feeder station, you could have (before the ruling, of course) thrown the game pieces over the feeder station wall onto one of the nearest opposing alliance's pegs to shorten the scoring gap.

Re: Team Update 4
I would like to convey my disgust, but I think IndySam or Akash's statements are enough.
