Team 1544 Robot Reveal!


This is our robot this year. His name is Rover. He has a fully extendable arm and a sliding mini-bot delivery method.

And its shielding is all Lexan

Re: Team 1544 Robot Reveal!

You may want to be careful that your deployment mechanism complies with the game rules.

<G19> means that HOSTBOTS are not allowed to launch the MINIBOT up the pole at the TARGET, or otherwise contribute to the vertical movement of the MINIBOT. Energy for vertical movement may not be stored in the MINIBOT before DEPLOYMENT (except that which is contained within the battery and excluding incidental kinetic energy stored in the motors or wheels, but NOT, for example, in a flywheel).

Having your deployment mechanism slope upwards towards the pole contributes to the vertical movement of the minibot unless your minibot comes to a full stop before it moves up the pole.

Re: Team 1544 Robot Reveal!

But that's not a problem if you guys are deploying downwards? That's what it looks like from the picture.

Yeah, it is deploying downwards and then the robot attaches and launches on its own.
