Can your robot go under the bar?

[Scorpion515]

Is your team planning on having the robot be able to go under the bar?

If not, why?

Take a look at the discussion here:

The only reason to not build a robot that go under the bar is that 14" is really small to fit under, and some of your ability might be limited if you choose to build a robot that small.

The top of ramp is so slipery and huge that most robot should be able to pass through it during matches.

I have a feeling some would rather stack up 15 bins than go under the bar, or have the ability to protect a stack with the whole robot.

I don't think the choices of this poll are indicative of all possibilities.

hmm, yes, i don't either. also, what about if someone made a modular bot, in which in one mode it could, but couldn't in other modes? need more choices!

please people! im just asking a really simple question. if it isn't yes or no, then say maybe! if the robot @ any point in the competition can go under the bar your answer is: YES!

if it can not go under the bar at any point of the competition, say: NO!

and if you feel like being secretive or have not decided yet, say:Maybe/ Not Saying.

please submit ur answer. im just trying to find this out for my teams sake.

Good point. Our current design will let us go under, but if we can't fit everything we need in 14", that may change sometime around week 5 or early week 6...

what robot???

[Todd Derbyshire]

Yes, No, Maybe So

im sry, i wasn't listening.. could u say that again?

[Ianworld]

Perhaps, its a possibility,

My team probably will. Most of the designs we've come up with have an arm to stack and thus can fold down. Also we have a design of a giant box, like the ball gatherers from last year that could fit under the bar and of course internally stack boxes.(A really cool method ) I think every team could but I don't think it is that necessary. My team is just afraid of the moving wall that we can't get past. (we don't want to build one though too boring) Remeber pieces of the robot can always start vertically and then fold down. I've heard the horror stories of Chiefdelphis robot two years ago ^_^.(i wasn't there) They're all terrified of them now.

good luck!

anyone who remebers 25 from 2001 will understand this :


who says you gotta go under the bar, there is another direction you could take

We're designing it so that the robot will go under the bar...but there's always a possibility of failing =(

thanks for the feedback.
