Go to Post 1114 is the definition of what a FIRST team should be. For anyone to say otherwise is disgusting to me. - Andrew Schreiber [more]

Re: shot from the bridge

I have seen a few teams pull it off! I think I saw a couple Michigan teams hit it over the previous few weeks. I guess most of them have already commented on the thread.

I really thought (and I'm sure after Garrick sees this he'll tell me he told me so) that bridge shooting, or "ramp-camping" as I and a few members of my team affectionately dubbed it, would be a lot more common.

It just seemed to me that if a team designed for a quick balancing robot, and a long range shooter, they could have done something very effective. They'd be undefendable most of the time (while on the bridge and in the lane), be able to quickly collect balls from either side of the field, and be ready for end game whenever their partners (or opponents, I guess) were.

It just seemed to me like it would have been a great challenge to design for. My team assured me that it would simple by too difficult.
