Team SCREAM's prototype robot

[Alpha Beta]

Looks fantastic. With 2 weeks of driver practice on a full field and a live defender bot your drive team ought to be pretty polished come Arkansas. By the time we get to see you in KC the following week... should be amazing.

Curious as to how the refs will call the robot to robot contact. You were practicing against a really short defender, but someone of normal height would probably saddle you with a G28 for being bulldozed out of the way by an arm that hit them inside their frame perimenter. Not sure if G14 would apply if the defender initiated the contact. Should be a discussion point at the driver's meeting before each tournament. Many robots will have that issue/non-issue.

That is a good point Aaron. We will look more into it. I foresee a LOT of robots with these style arms. It would probably be better if we shot out of the other end so we could keep the collector arm inside the frame perimeter.

I will search the Q&A and possibly post a question.

Looking awesome! All that driver practice will make you guys very competitive, great job.

Looking good Mike! We're waiting on parts and hope to be together pretty well by this weekend. Nice practice set-up!

Thanks Brian. I hope you guys can come over and use the field with us.

Just because they aren't posted doesn't mean they aren't out there.
