I AM SORRY TO SAY THIS>>>

BUT KIDNAPPING WONT WORK


IN order for a robot to get points for the endzone, it has to be touching...If us life em up of wedge em up, then wont be touching..And u have to back off a push after 10 seconds...

SO IN MY MIND>.....kidnapping is pointless.....

ONLY 10 points for your bot...and the teams are even..1 free bot each team.

You've got something special coming your way...

As bad as I think the possibility of "kidnapping" is, may it be by lifting or by pulling, i think that if any one manages to overpower our goat like grip on the carpet and get the points, then i'll give you a cookie. Feel free to call me on that

But! If you hurt my gompei, you may not want to -eat- that cookie!

Seriously though, to stick with the spirit of the competition, i am much more partial to strong defensive manuevers and clever offenses than brute breaking of things.

This ruling should definitely be rethought

I'm not so sure about that. At kickoff they said if a robot breaks the plane it's considered in the endzone (or am I making things up again?).

No a goal has to break the plane and a robot has to be touching the floor.

IMHO I don't think there will be much bot-knapping. If you build a robot that is strong enough to lift a 130 lb bot, it probably won't be able to do anything else like ball lifting or goal manipulation. If you try to drag a bot, against it's will, I think you will be biting off more than you can chew and will probably break your bot.
I don't think you will see to many light-weight bots. I think there will be a lot of teams with 130 lbs robots.

Just my $.03 (inflation) worth

Just curious, how many motors other teams using...?
Ten just seems a little too scary...

We are using 8

The Thunderchickens (new nickname for 217, formerly known as Royal Fusion) will be using 8.

Don't take everything you read here too seriously. If it sounds a little crazy, it might just be a little crazy. We probably won't be using 10 motors for our drive.

Are we having fun yet?

Motor Madness

Why would you be limiting yourself to only 10 motors for the drive train at this stage?

Oh yes indeed, crazy.... (like a fox with "goat-like grip" on carpets!)

Also....there is little truth to the rumor that our team will have 6 motors on our drive system.

-Quentin


PS: I understand that some goats have a velcro-like surface to the bottom of their feet which sounds like it violates one of the competition rules. I would suggest reading the rules very carefully before implementing "Goat-like grip", "Giraffe-like color" or "Camel-like smells".

Goats might have this but did you ever see a "Intimidator" with rubber velcro-like surace.

Six motors great drive train = goals and robots.

I still think this is going to be like 1999 competition one puck many robots. the most powerful robot moves on.

Pancake Robot

I can see it now a robot forklifts another robot in the air and this can be done to like maybe a foot. If the robot who is captured moves its gone so it has to go along for the ride. Then at the last second the robot drops the robot into the zone for the potential TWENTY POINTS. HMM... maybe first should be thinking about this rule...

rational thought

It's nice to say that kidnapping and damaging another team's robot is bad and that no person in their right mind would ever do that, but remember. When a team gets into the finals and their in the heat of competition, this rational thought may go out the window.

I remember in the one of the matches of the 2000 game, this one robot had attached itself to the bar over the ramp and one of the other robots came up the ramp (to gain points) and pushed this other robot off the bar and ramp. I believe that damage was done. So keep in mind, towards the end, the gloves usually come off.

-smokescreen (who doesn't worry about other teams damaging the robot. Only the electricians.)
