How many teams can score their robot in BOTH endzones

Team 535 can score in both endzones while sitting in the middle of the field.
Who else can?

We also plan to have two goals in our grasp
Good luck on trying to tip us. I doubt very much another robot can tip us anyways. We are low to the ground, have slanted sides and a mean right hook

wonder where this ones going?

Seems to me that a simple question regarding the number of teams that can do something extraordinary is heading towards dark waters. Team 25 warns the other, "Be careful you could get tipped over or rammed" Team 535 takes that as a threat and responds - Team 25 responds "the rules say its okay" - Team 535 says "don't treaten me buddy" etc, etc, etc ....
Chill out guys -
Wayne was asking a simple question, lets stay "on Topic" - If you want to argue strategy, start a thread on the strategy board, but lets not get into it here.
Wayne, our team cannot do what your team can - congrats on figuring out how to do it! Hope it works, if we get to be partners.
I hope cooler heads prevail and tipping over is by accident, not on purpose (whats the point?)

Thumbs up Relax-this is fun

As Team 25's keeper- let me say

No threats are made here. Nuggets simply answered the question- yes- our machine can reach both end zones at once.

We have no intention of tipping over machines.

And we took the arc welder off the front of the bot last week.....
Just kidding. Lighten up!

We made a a thing that can reach itself into the endzone from 28 feet, but we had to scrap it because the robot was already too heavy

We had a device that could go into to both endzones but we had to scrap it to due to weight. Our device was really unique compared to what I have seen in the Pic. Gallery. In fact when we asked the FIRST officials a question pertaining to our device. They got a little concerned (they said no other team had asked that question yet). Well, now its gone, I wish the weight restrictions were were at least 135 (that's all we needed). Mabye FIRST will change the restrictions next year(I dout it though)

We assigned several of the veterans for soley the task of being in both end zones at once, and we think our method will woek well. We will just have to find out though. by the way, our whole "extend thirty feet in a few seconds" component weighs 5 pounds!!

Would anyone care to post stuff about how they go about scoring in this way? I'd like to see this...188 looked at this idea and then scrapped it because the rules were too vague, and because of weight considerations.

We have a thirty feet long fiberglass strip that wants to be flat, but it is able to be coiled around a 3 feet diameter, so it fits in the box. We then use thw window motor to pull the fiberglass out and push it to the other side.
