1 CP

[SciBorg Dave]

In Texas (Alamo) they were scoring 1 CP point. I thought that you could only get 2 or 0 for the coop bridge. How did this work ?

Thanks I missed that rule.

Anyone have a picture of a 1CP scenario? Did the robots simply not roll off the bridge when it tipped back to the side?

Sean, I've seen a few instances via webcast where one robot went up the bridge and turned or was turned keeping the second robot from rolling off. I'd imagine this is the case here, or one of the teams had some sort of brake to keep themselves and their opponent on.

In some instances a ball underneath one/both sides can keep the bridge from tipping all the way down on one side and support both robots at more than 5 degrees...so no balance but level enough to hold both bots.

Why would that third robot try to be involved in balancing? The best they could do is not ruin it.

There are a couple of instances of the second robot getting stuck (sometimes the bumpers come up over the bumpers of the first robot, pulling some wheels off the ramp), and a third robot trying to push them up the ramp in order to score the coopertition points.
