We have posted some photos of our Wicked Awesome Goalie that team 5040 built .I guess the Awesome part is yet to be seen but the tag is wickedawesomegoalie we also have a video that we made ;

Just for clarification, per Rule R24, those corners need to be filled by the bumpers you plan on using at competition.

Totally agree. Our alliance could not win Montreal in 2013 without you guys.

Defence is effective as long as the effectiveness in the time spent defending is superior to the amount of points a robot can score during that same time. During the finals in Montreal 2013, 1075 was excellent at shutting down the two teams who happened to have the highest OPR and be on the same finalist alliance. 1075 created room for us and 3387 to cycle through and score. It was beautiful.

I would like to counter both of those with my team in 2006.
Won the Philly regional first.

Then we went undefeated on Galileo (qual and elims) purely playing defense.

Watch any video of our team that year and see how defense can control a game.

Rush did get the advantage of Bobcat defense in making it to the Galileo finals in 2004.
And if Winnovation had taken Sparx first in 2006????

We do have two sets a red set and a blue set and they are legal
These photos are of the team building progress , not the final bag and tag photo.

Not exactly a goalie, but we added this piece onto our robot as a simple quick deploying defense mechanism. It wont be blocking entire goals but it gives us at least the opportunity to play defense if need be.

What about any hella sick goalies?

[Chowmaster4695]

Our team is both offensive and defensive. We can cover both goals within 2 seconds due to our great mecanum drive. We made sure we can defend so we have a higher chance of being picked but it looks like it doesn't matter because we will probably be picking
