Tallest Aerial Assist Robot

[eli2410]

I've been curious about something from this year. I know that there weren't a lot of goalie robots out there, but I was wondering what the tallest robot was this year and how tall said robot is. Any and all goalie robots top height is requested.

I know that my team's robot is taller than the goal, but I don't have an exact measurement at the moment.

our was 59In. on the dot we had a blocker on it to attempt to block opponets shots

[Whippet]

Ours measured 59.9 inches high to facilitate catching the ball.

ours was 5 feet 11 inches roughly speaking to catch

Sure it wasn't 4'11"? (59 inches) 71 inches better be in the goalie zone.

[Canon reeves]

sorry, blonde moment! I meant 4' 11"!

One of the rookies at Inland Empire started out with a 10' tall pole on their robot, along with a pair of 20" low-goal blockers. The 10' tall pole could not retract or extend.

After a couple matches with plural G22s, the pole came off. After one or two more with a couple of G26-1s, I didn't see the low-goal blockers again.

I think it was taller than 10ft. The top of the high goal is just about 10 ft and I remember them clearing the top of the goal by a good 3-4ft.

I also think that was the highest scoring robot at Inland. Not necessarily highest scoring for their alliance, but probably for the opposing one.

I saw a team at new york regional who had a piston for blocking that went up to 7 feet. It took them 30 seconds to fill it up though so they dropped it for something more reasonable. It was pretty incredible to see a piston that big sitting in an FRC pit though.

FRC 1710 had a solely defensive robot design. It was really tall, they had a mobile blocker to defend the high goal in addition to having blockers for the low goals. When they took their robot out of their pits, they had to lift one side of the curtains to get it out, it was definitely at least 6 feet tall I'd guess.

What did you do whenever your robot tilted slightly?

[eli2410]

We think we have the tallest Aerial Assist robot at 10 feet, 10 inches. Anyone want to challenge that?

Any idea what team or anything that could help me find them? I looked through the videos on Blue Alliance, and none of the rookies seem to have anything defensive.

I'll raise you 10 feet 11 inches, even though our robot is less than half that height, I can't not do challenge.

Looking at the team list, yep, that's them. All 10'+ of them. Maybe 12' of 'em?

And, TBA happens to have a Youtube search that pulled up this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcHFntQrVnU They're on the far left, red bumpers. You can also see one of their low-goal blockers--and, why they got lots of penalties. (Watch to the end, and you hear two of them.)
