Re: IRI - How It Works
Not if 217 wins.
I guess that is up to the Thunderchickens programmer. |

Re: IRI - How It Works
No Joke. We named our "Bridge Manipulator" a "Cow Tipper". We always refer to it as that. Even though the first one didn't work. We usually say "Cow Tipper" at first when we are talking about the bridge manipulator, happens all the time when talk to judges.

Re: IRI - How It Works
What about a game of "Bump" - remove the return chutes under the hoops and line up robots on the opposite end of the field. The game is played with two balls and as many robots as one dares (probably 6). The first robot drives over the coopertition bridge with a ball loaded and takes a shot. As soon as the ball is in the air, the next robot can cross the bridge with a ball loaded and takes a shot. If the first robot misses the shot, they have to collect their ball and shoot again. Once they sink a basket they collect their ball and cross one of the alliance bridges, pass or feed their ball to the next machine in line and rejoin the queue. However, if the proceeding robot scores a ball before the first robot, the following robot crosses the bridge as soon as the second returns to the opposite end of the field and feeds its ball to the third machine. If the third robot scores a ball before the first machine has made it's shot, it must exit the field where it is powered down and removed from play. The last robot remaining wins!

Re: IRI - How It Works
After what I would call our most exciting and heartbreaking season, FRC2168 is strongly considering applying for the first time to the IRI for 2012.

Any updates on this? I understand that this is a very busy time for those teams attending championships.

B-A-C-O-N
What about good old fashioned human eyeball-aimed shots? You get three balls to make a shot at each location on the field. Autoaimed, manually aimed, or otherwise. Sounds kinda fun! Last edited by Travis Hoffman : 22-04-2012 at 16:10. |
