Dropshots Fired!

[thinker&planner]

I spy a climber.

If I were going up against them, I would just setup my robot behind them and steal the ball off the midline.

The 2nd ball wasn't centered on the tape. And if it were, the intake appears to come down over the apex of the 2nd ball, meaning it broke the plane of the center tape. Am I seeing that right?

We do not cross the center tape.

This.

I think champs will need light beams to prove if or if-not a robot broke the center plane.

Also, I'll expect a second position from 1986. Probably rough terrain too.

I'm done.

get ready for the wildlyfe

[Michael Corsetto]

Once again, showing why 254 is the best in the world.

Thanks for the inspiration, hope to see you on the other side of the glass Saturday afternoon

While I do hope this works out for them at champs, I have to agree that based on this video, it is doubtful this particular routine would actually get the ball in a legal starting position. It seems that the bot just barely doesnt cross the line, but the ball also seems to be 2 inches closer

I'm not going to claim to know 254's intake geometry, but from the angle of the camera, 2 inches farther and it wouldn't get a grip on that ball.

Of course, I imagine this isn't the final iteration either.

If he says it doesn't cross, then I believe it doesn't cross. Normally I'm right there with ya if it were anyone other than the Poofs.

Now that 254 and 118 (see above) has shown theirs, this means there's at least two teams in Newton that has a two boulder auto that crosses a defense that's not the low bar. If/when these two teams play together, it will be ridiculous.

Oh god, put 254 and 118 along with an other robot that gets one ball in, and that's 80 points straight up after autonomous, and tower down to 5 health
