Maybe you guys will be able to do it at an offseason event.

We are disappointed because we really wanted to pull off a 3 long bot balance in competition at Livonia. When we fell off the bridge once, it broke a belt pulley side which eventually broke our lower chain.

The bot will balance without the side guides. It rests on the belt vertically only. Its all very simple weight and balance calculations. The side guides just help to keep us on the center of the belt and lined up. They are fixed and do not move. They don't grab the sides of the rail to stabilize.

The inspiration came from a rail grind sliding move in skateboarding, or riding the pipe in snowboarding. Just needed the belt for more traction. I'll post some photos soon.

Thanks to everyone for the positive comments.
Can I add photos directly to my post reply?

Re: pic: Two bot side balance

Clearly you guys came up with an incredible design, inside the rules. Sorry I haven't gotten to see it play yet!

Re: pic: Two bot side balance

Here is a shot of the optical illusion that is a triple long robot balance on the practice field at Livonia. All three robots are completely supported by the bridge. It took about 45 sec for the drivers to do it the first time and they got it down to about 35 sec in the 5 min practice time we were allowed with the bridge.

Re: pic: Two bot side balance

I find this thread pretty funny when you read it all the way through. Right off the start everyone is crying foul, illegal, i can't believe they allowed that ect. Then you have it explained how it works and that the ref looked at it every match to make sure nothing was touching the bridge lip. After that everyone chimes in again oh great job, well planned, amazing, ect. This is indeed one well designed robot and maybe others need to look at the pictures more closely and ask questions to how it works before claiming them to be illegal.
