Re: Biggest Challenge of '05

In 2003, the best cappers could cap two, maybe three times...I'm not sure how much easier Tetras are to manipulate than huge yellow balls, but it should still be quite interesting to see the turnout. I suppose with such a robust drive system already included in the kit, more teams will have more time to spend on their manipulators.

Re: Biggest Challenge of '05

I think that although they gave us the color following code, automous mode, picking up a vision tetra, and then caping it on a larger tetra will prove to be quite difficult

I'm up for the chalange, this year is going to be awesome!

Re: Biggest Challenge of '05

I'd say reaching high enough. The bots that can put the highest tetras will be worth the most points.

That with being able to not get top heavy and fall over. If you have a tetra extended 7 + feet away from your bot and another bot rams you, then it is almost going to be impossible to stay upright. And that could get quite dangerous

Re: Biggest Challenge of '05

Staying low is always a problem with games were you score higher up....to this game in particular, handling those foolish tetras well is going to be pretty difficult.

Re: Biggest Challenge of '05

I think the biggest challenge of the '05 game is going to be the communication between the human player and the drivers. It may start to work pretty well, but when its the last match in the final's, people are going to start getting confused with commands. There will be one human player going back and forth between the pressure pad trying to figure out where the driver is wanting them to go. communication is going to be a key part to this game.

Re: Biggest Challenge of '05

i think it will be lifting the tetras once a team has more then 2 or 3 because of the weight of them.

Center of gravity. To place the tetra ontop, you're going to need a long arm. When you have 9, 18, 27 lbs of weight on the end, your center of gravity is going to shift. If you don't fall then, you're going to fall if you get nailed.
