Re: pic: Capping 177

This is great because back in NJ me and my coach, Rob, came up with this exact same strategy but were unable to do cause another robot got in our way. But this is great I thought no one else would ever think of this strategy to stop this kind of robot.

Re: pic: Capping 177

It's not that funny when it's your team robot that gets capped but got to hand to to the opposing team...that was a pretty smart idea to cap another robot Ofcourse there are tons of ways to counteract that

I am not absoluly positive on this, someone told me capping a robot was now against the rules. Ill have to look it up. If some one else knows, let me know.

I don't exactly know if it is againt the rules but my coach did ask the head ref at NJ before we attempted this and his exact words "stick it in em."

Re: pic: Capping 177

We had a lot of debate in the pits and with a few other teams before we did this to 177. We were also worried that it might damage their mechanism and we didn't want to do that. One of the options was to just hold the big ball over 177's hopper and deflect the balls.

We got our comeuppance that match when the power connector to our arm motor came loose. We couldn't cap or hang after that.

Yeah... I have a hard time believing they would make this illegal to do.. especially since it is not intentionally damaging a robot... it's just simply an attempt to control their actions on the field- defense.

Re: pic: Capping 177

I haven't heard anything on the legality of this action, but I could see where both sides could have their arguement. I.E. - It should be legal for this purpose; It was an amazing defense move that messed us up for a little bit. It should be illegal because there are some robots out there that may not have the durability that our bot had and could break.

I suppose its up to the refs at each competition. I really hate to side with the side that capped my robot, but I do recall Dave Lavery saying make sure your bot could take a hit with a yellow ball. Don't worry though, our drivers know how to handle it now--preventing the ball from going in, and getting it out if it does.

I'm sorry, I thought I heard somebody say that at Midwest. I must have been mistaken. Thanks for the clarification.

This happened to us. We almost came back and won the match, but we didn't collect enough balls to over come the other alliances points. It was still a GREAT match. Good job to Team 27 for using that strategy on us.

See you in Atlanta!!!

There was an official ruling that capping another robot is legal.

Yeah goign to the other side to catch against 27's drive train was not a good idea, they were the only team that could really move us.

However to I guess counter being capped, you cna just keep your funnel closed, or if they cap you and you still ahev the ability to collect, you still can do that.

We went to four matches in the quarter finals but were knocked out.

A team at SBPLI Regional approached us to do it to a team there, but something happened and we didn't have a chance to do it. We decided to use it agains 177 however.

Also I'd like to add that 177 really recovered and pushed the loose balls to their human player.

Also, I noticed after that match 177 really made sure this didn't happen again - the drivers would keep the nets closed until a second or two before the balls dropped. Good job guys.

We decided to drop it because we weren't sure if some of the balls would hit us, then we would be blocking them from falling in - which is against the rules I believe (I'm not positive about that however).
