Ah you guys know them.
Sad to say I barely watch the videos anymore or go on the forum. I do still talk to Luke(still slick to me) once in a while on teamspeak if I'm up at a weird time.

I think most top 8 and first-pick alliances will fall into one or both of these two categories.

I would not be surprised if our initial configuration is more than 14-16" tall, but I absolutely expect us to have a configuration that will fit below the low bar while carrying a boulder.
Gus,

Where's the rule that your boulder has to pass through under the Low Bar just because your robot must? My idea alone (you'd need to check w/ the rule makers so you wouldn't be a rule breaker). As long as the robot maintained full control over the boulder during the entire traversing from beginning to end.....Long narrow low robot under the 120" frame limit, boulder gripper on the rear, boulder gripper on the front......Robot begins to pass under Low Bar and the drape and pole at bottom of drape, the rear gripper passes boulder to front gripper over the top bar of the Low Bar when about half way through, deposit in low goal or deliver to high goal shooter. As soon as the wheels hit the carpet completely (if there was a high goal shooter), it would be easy to pitch pass it to the shooter....zoom back for more ammunition.

The Robot never lost control of the boulder, and robot never went completely over the Low Bar as per the rule. Asked properly of the Q&A the answer may just surprise many of us. Three fingered simple ball grippers front one rotated 1/3 so the fingers fit together. Adjustable pneumatic.

Not a rule, but an optimization so we don't have to go acquire the boulder again.

Edit: We did not consider handing the boulder to ourselves, over the bar, but we may carry it outside the frame perimeter for the low bar crossing. We like simpler.
