Flights of Fancy

[GeeTwo]

It's brainstorming, blue-sky, what-if, no **** way, suspension of disbelief, Harry Potter, and Tinker Bell time.

In this thread, please post your wild, far-out fantasy robots for specific FRC games. I have three all ready to go, so this will hit four posts really fast to give you an idea what I have in mind.

This thread was originally inspired by a post I saw today which spoke of four tethered quadcopters. Since there are only sixteen breakers on the one Power Distribution Panel this year, and that each quadcopter requires four independent rotors, I realized as I was driving home that the robot would have to either

• Be solely a "bird farm", serving as a base station for quadcopters
• Or have some design feature that was totally "outside the box"
• Or both

So, it's on. Here are the rules:

• Post your own ideas, or raise the ante on existing ideas. Don't pick apart the ideas you see here - the idea is to have fun! As stated in Animal House: "Forget it, he's rolling" (warning: don't google that phrase if you are sensitive to ribald language).
• If your idea wouldn't have made the referees pull out the rule book, you're definitely missing the point.
• If your idea is 100% sure to have been found in compliance with the rules, you're almost certainly missing the point.

The Game is Afoot!
