Re: Problem with Lowering the Bar

unless i'm mistaken, this is a circular bar, why not lift up the robot so as the bar comes down, so that when the bar is all the way down your arm is perpendicular to the floor

this probably doesn't make sense to anyone but me, but as i see it, there is no problem

Re: Problem with Lowering the Bar

because the robot has width, and would not be able to rotate, it would hit the floor

Re: Problem with Lowering the Bar

My only concern is that it is built to handle a beating. I hope the cable lifting mechanism is strong enough to hold 390+ pounds ( 3 robots)

The Bar is going to take many hits and abuse from robots

If the bar decides to come down there are going to be 2 or more unhappy teams with damaged robots...
