Re: Full Court Shooter!!! (Team 3528 UpNext)
Wouldn't Bluabot just keep ramming Redabot3 thereby hitting Redabot1? Bluabot isn't touching Redabot1 which is protected in the loading station, but Bluabot wouldn't be touching Redabot1 and they only need to disrupt the shooting enough to cause the discs to miss.

Re: Full Court Shooter!!! (Team 3528 UpNext)
I hope we don't get the situations where teams playing defense against tall, tippy robots gets penalized because the other team failed to build a non-tippy robot. The refs need to look at the hit/pushing itself and not the end result.

I am always weary of light robots that aren't build strong. It doesn't seem to me like a good idea to make your robot so darn light and flimsy. Oh, yes I am aware. I am the lead driver, and I understand. That doesn't mean you can't accidentally knock them over ![]() |

Is there anyway for you to describe the amount of compression you're using better? I know it's hard to tell. We think we have found the right amount, but we could be wrong. What material is your platform made of? |

With the compression, what we did was we built the curved side all around the wheel to measure 11" exactly. This way, the frisbee barley touches the wheel when spinning. Then what we did was we started layering the curved side with material that we though would work. We used double sided sticky tape to mount the layers on the side. On the curves side we had these layers (in order). Metal-sticky tape-black pvc plastic-stick tape-tred.When you do that, it builds up the compression. We also let air out of the wheel a lot. So when the frisbee comes around, it cups the frisbee. The platform is made out of black pvc plastic. I hope that helps. |

Re: Full Court Shooter!!! (Team 3528 UpNext)
How are you targeting in the video and how will you target during competition?

For the actually game, we will use a camera. I am not exactly sure how to explain all that, but i know we will use the camera to target our distance. Sorry :/ |

As for making a 60"-84" blocking robot--that's definitely a lunchtime job. Assuming you picked a well-built bot to begin with, getting them the extra 2-5' in an effective, durable, low-CG, and even good-looking fashion is entirely doable if you prepare. Check out some of the good nets from prior years. We've pulled off much crazier conversions in less time. |

Re: Full Court Shooter!!! (Team 3528 UpNext)
They could, but if the full court shooter had opted for aiming at the 2 pt target (much easier given the angles), they have a 54"x21" opening they're firing into. you have to disrupt their shot a fair bit before you'll make them miss. You may make them 'miss' into a different goal than the one they were aiming for.

Re: Full Court Shooter!!! (Team 3528 UpNext)
Furthermore, if your teams' strategy is a full court shooter that essentially parks at the feeder station, which seems to be more valid this year than ever before, MAKE SURE YOU PRACTICE doing it while being defended. Slam a past robot into it while you're shooting, make sure that you can play through being defended, better still if the 'defenders' can violate the loading station no-touch rule, and your shots STILL succeed.
