Re: Falling off the bar... :\
A falling robot? Now really, I wouldn't advise anyone to build a robot that falls from the bar. Afterall, it is 9' up from the platform, or thereabouts. That is definately so high up, that you will WAY exceed the expressly stated limit of Vmax=10ft/sec

Re: Falling off the bar... :\
Um people...
why would you want your bot pulling itself all the way up to the bar? you dont get any extra points for air under your bot off the floor means millimeters, not meters |

That's was all part of the game though. Teams know they have to build a sturdy robot so it's something to expect. |

and making the robots built to handle what will be thrown at them should be expected... robots get hit, so build them tough last year, if your robot could fall over on the ramp, you should of put in protection this year, if your going to try to do chin ups, put in extra padding and prepare for the worst |

Re: Falling off the bar... :\
there is no room up on the center platform for another bot to get a running start and smack you hard
whatever you grab the bar with, it can lock on with a death grip (till death do we part) |

but if you're only a few inches or so off the platform, all another robot has to do is get one wheel on you or the edge of their robot leaning on you, then that added weight could damage your hook or lift system, so you'd have to factor in it being able to support more weight..When it comes to robots being destroyed, I'm pessimistic, don't want all our work to go down the drain because of something so minor ![]() |
