Qotw [01-19-03]: Predictions of the game...

[Ken Leung]

Hi all, sorry for the delay. Been really busy with non-FIRST businesses, ie cooking C=.

Anyway, here is a few more questions I want to ask, and this time its more about the robots than the game.

Have fun!

How high of a stack can a robot build in one move? On average, and the highest? In other words, if your robot is only allowed one motion to move a stack onto another stack, what's the highest you can stack up to?

How many robots will have a device to get themselves locked on the HDPE? And how many of those will be suction cup?

How many robot will protect a stack by holding onto the whole stack completely?

How many robots will be able to steal a whole stack? How many of those do you think will not get tipped when they try to go over the ramp while an opponent is waiting for them on the other side? How many will dump the stack in the non-scoring zone instead of risking the ramp?

If robots have a device to knock over bins, what's the highest height of bins they can reach to? On average, and the highest?

Do you think any robot will handle two stacks at a time?

On average, how long will it take a robot to get over the center bar?

And finally, how many robot will choose to drive backward, go over/under/through the bar and run into the other team? How many will try to track the line and get to the top of the ramp? How many will go after the human player stack?

Good luck everyone!
