Grabbing an alliance robot to balance

[Ninja_Bait]

It would be awesome to see a team that can drag robots grab a dead alliance partner bot and get it on the bridge and score like that.

It may be the only time we ever see a useless robot become useful.

Agreed, but what kind of power would that take? The drive train and grabber on the robot doing the dragging would have to be able to maneuvre at the very least two robots (maybe more if the dead robot is dead because the drive train locked up for whatever reason) effectively. That robot would indeed be the robot to have on an alliance however.

Yes that would be a good use. But I was thinking more in terms of using it to help from falling off of the end of the bridge if your three robots are too long and dont quite fit on.

it was a good idea of a claw or atleast a hook to hang onto each other but not many teams will be up for having anther team attach something to the inside of the robot because the chance for error is to high

I don't think there is any kind of glue that will cure fast enough for it to be very effective.... Though Inventables does have some giveaway adhesives for FRC teams that are pretty newfangled...
