Re: IRI - 2013 Rule Changes

Is it really a prank if the idea becomes real?

I think you will have to buy or create your own pyramid to have a CoOp pyramid.

I'd like to see a Co-opertition zipline where you get bonus points for climbing to the top of your pyramid and then ziplining to the other pyramid to tag your opponent's robot.

Re: IRI - 2013 Rule Changes

that is just a quick rough mock of what the field would look like. It would make it very difficult for robots that cannot travel under the pyramids.

Re: IRI - 2013 Rule Changes

This change is outrageous!! We're going to have to boycott this competition now. You won't see 2791 at IRI this year!!!!

Actually, the entire team wanted to apply and attend this year but I'm the only mentor who isn't busy that weekend.

As a member of a Shortbot team, I wholeheartedly approve of this fake change! Sorry Tallbots!

(so this is what it felt like to be a Widebot team last year )

Re: IRI - 2013 Rule Changes

Also, for that middle pyramid instead of the top goal there is a minibot pole straight up the middle. Deploy a 2011 Legal Minibot on that pole in auton to get to 20 extra points.

Re: IRI - 2013 Rule Changes

You got an oval-shaped field - might as well add some trackballs and hurdling.

Re: IRI - 2013 Rule Changes

As a defensive team, this would be great!

My only suggestion is that you mount the pyramid on the bridges from last year's game and make teams balance with each other and the pyramid on top!

Or maybe put the bridge on top...or wait...one bridge on top and one on bottom... #mindblown...
