Worlds first robot stack and balance 2865 and 701!

[bam-bam]

Well, as a member of 1501........

FINALLY!

Great job guys!! It's great to see another stack happening!

This was awesome to watch on the webcast, but I don't understand why they said this was the first in the world. It has happened before, multiple times...

Now we all want to see 1501 carrying 701 carrying 2865!

Can 1501 handle two robots?

I'm sure they could, they have a very powerful drivetrain.

I'm assuming this was more of a "proof of concept" balance, to let teams know what to expect in elims. More importantly, this was AWESOME! Great job to all teams involved

Exactly, we werent ranked very high, and so it was good to show what we're capable of to increase our chances of being picked. There could be more to it but i'm not at the competition so couldn't tell.

When we practiced, the stacking, at the shop we had one robot strapped to our Flight Deck and was able to push another non-operational robot up the bridge, so yes, I think we could carry two other robots on our robot.
That would be sweet to see.

Just for grins, you ought to do a CG calculation on the implied triple stack. I'm doubting that you could get up the bridge incline angle without tipping being immediately in your future! But, to be sure, it would be epic to watch the attempt!
