Re: pic: Triple Balance 3 of 3: CT Regional
Thanks for posting this. Still can't believe how well that stinger works. If you look closely at our robot you can see how much of it is able to hang off the edge thanks to the stinger, basically half the robot.

OK -- what is it that you are doing? Can't really tell from the picture, but having half the bot hanging "over the cliff" leads to the obvious question!

You will have to come over and ask at championship. Don't really want to have championship filled with every team having a stinger like last year with the optimized minibot.

OK -- I can understand that. But, as the line from Monty Python goes, "We already got one; it's a verrrryyyy niccccccee" You have to imagine the terrible french accent... :-)

We believe that what makes our robot utilize the stinger to the max is our unique center of gravity; we believe that it is somewhere behind our robot...

Heck Yeah! That triple was a big surprise to the other alliance from what I hear.
Thanks to both our partners 694 and 1559. It was great that we were able to make it happen at least once before we got knocked out. Of course, it would have been great if we had managed it in that last match, as I would have loved to see that double triple on the field. |

For anyone who wants to see the triple balance it happens at the end of this match: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjJrDECIub8
It is shocking how quickly it works and yes thats how quickly it works on the practice field everytime, it's only a shame we couldn't have done it more. Hopefully we will be able to bust out the triple again at championship in the elimination rounds and maybe in the practice rounds if 2 wide robots were kind enough to do so. |

I don't want to spoil it for everyone.... but here is how to make a functional stinger; take a large cylinder with enough stroke, point it down, and fire. Last edited by AdamHeard : 04-04-2012 at 14:24. |

Funniest thing I've read in awhile on here. We're doing precisely that tomorrow at lonestar. You dont even have to make a bracket when you can buy a premade one for a couple dollars.
