Legality of Blocking Ball Chutes
Is it illegal to block the ball chutes that feed the human players?

Re: Legality of Blocking Ball Chutes
As far as I know, the goals are the only thing you can't block so i think that the ball chutes are all good.

Re: Legality of Blocking Ball Chutes
yes the ball chutes can be blocked. But you might not want to do this becuase if you were to read the manual when it gets to how the qp and new this year RP's work you want your opposition to lose by as little as possible.

Re: Legality of Blocking Ball Chutes
... U better make the most durable wings possible cuse ask 71, 365, or any other teams about this strategy parts will get broken every round. Your pit crew will have to become an ER team and try to pick up the pieces of your robot. This is also an expensive strategy and not one for the weak at heart. With that said yah its legal to do if you wanna go that route.

Re: Legality of Blocking Ball Chutes

I know if someone tried to block my ball shoot well I would ram them continuously and as hard as i could. |

Re: Legality of Blocking Ball Chutes
Or you could make the much talked about but never made two part robot that could break into two halves and block both ball chutes.

Re: Legality of Blocking Ball Chutes
Just drag your goal (or theirs) in front of the chute you want to block, depending on your strategy.

Re: Legality of Blocking Ball Chutes
If any bot tries to block our corral openings, our bot will drag them to the highest yard-arm and hang em by their wires
making sure they are touching the ground with one wheel :c0 while you are busy blocking a corral opening, the opponent bot can be busy stuffing balls in the other one, going after the 2x balls, dragging your small goal away from your team - capping your goal with a 2x ball so you cant score why would you want to tell your own bot to go sit in the corner? Does it have a bad attitude? |

Re: Legality of Blocking Ball Chutes
anything that is wide enough to block both corral openings would have to be, what? 24 feet wide?
assuming your bot is in the center of those wings, thats a 12 foot lever I dont care how much traction or weight your bot has, if I grab the end of the 12 foot lever I will drag your bot all over the field - turning the wings into pretzels in the process. BTW - rules state nothing can detach from your bot. nothing can be tethered either |
