The infamous R.A.L.P.H. from 992

Pictures of our robot are finally up at http://home.earthlink.net/~robotics/gallery.html.

Congratulations for making it through your rookie build, just a few questions.
Do you leave something in the home zone at the start of a match and how many goals do you grab.

I want to commend Team 992 for taking a risk and committing to trying a "non-entangling tether." Your execution looks really good, and I hope the FIRST officials will give adequate opportunity to see if your carpet proves virtually unentangleable in practise or not. Good luck!

Picture Gallery

I tried the link to your picture gallery, but the server gave me a 404. The school nework is sometimes really stupid, so it might be that it just happened to me, but I'd like to see the pictures anyway...
P.S.: Nice carpet! How much does it weigh?

Re: Picture Gallery

I'll go through these in reverse order:

My bad, CD put my final period into the link. It should work now.

The carpet weighs about 5 pounds, I'm not sure of the weight of the spool.

Not exactly. We grab one goal and then drop our whole grabber assembly to lock the goal in place (it weighs about 50 lbs and is coated with incline conveyor belt), and then back the robot up into our home zone, pushing another goal into place if necessary.

Also, we've changed our URL. The web address for the gallery is now http://www.oakwoodrobotics.com/gallery.html.

I believe that's the ONLY bot that does that. Congratulations, it seems to be great.

I have a couple of questions about it:

Has anybody tried to push the goal that was held by your tether? What happened?

and also:

Did it happen that a robot crossed over your tether? Did it entangle?

...

were you in a competition yet ?
Tose chains look mighty loose, we had our chains at a nice tension but they kept stretching so we hadto replace them twice, once the chain just felll off and the other time (we had the gear attached to our wheels) the gear just got ripped out of the wheel.

good luck
