Re: 179 Swamp Teasers

This hanging method is one of the concepts we seriously considered. In the end we decided not to do it because we didn't think we could make a robot light enough. We reasoned that if we had a 150 lb robot with a CG 1" or so from the edge of the bridge and our partner was 150 lb with a CG 12" from the edge we may not be able to balance. It would require a very light robot because the 2 on top don't have much room to move outward. I'm glad to see someone worked out all the details to make this work. Good job!
