Re: Resourceful Thinking
In a qualifying match (our second i think), our bot fought to get hooked on the bar. Once on, we started the winch. One of the other alliance bot's (330) was already hanging and unfortunitly directly above us. Our winch operator didn't stop the winch once we were off the ground, so the winch kept lifting.
About 5 seconds later and after hoasting 250 lbs., we inadvertantly removed the other team from the bar. Our bot also features a four-bar lift to use in un-capping and re-capping the goals. In one of quarter final matches, we were hanging, the other alliance was attempting to "hook" on the bar. They positioned themselves and were about to drop the hook, when we raised the four-bar effectively blocking their arm from attaching to the bar. We won that match 75 to 25. Phil
