Go to Post I fear sometimes as time increases between the present and when someone started, some sight of just how hard it can be to field a functioning robot for a young team is lost. - xForceDee [more]

Re: What will the winning robot have?

I think the winnning robot will have MOE green paint (and not to cheat and distract the sensors) j/k


I think it will have to have a good strategy for its desigin, if it is a blocker bot then it must be able to block more then one bot at a time or multible goals, if it is a capper bot then it must have a way to get around the blocker bots.

Re: What will the winning robot have?

i think the winning robot will have good alliance partners, an autonomous mode that includes knocking down the hanging tetra and stacking the reflective one, and also the robot would be able to hold multiple tetras at a time already stacked inside the bot and then just stack them all at the same time and do it quickly

Re: What will the winning robot have?

The winning robot will have control of the center goal. There's a possible 40 point swing right there.

Controlling the center goal alone is a 0 pt. swing. You have to control atleast 2 other goals (in the same columb/diagonal/row as the center) to make 10 points for a 20 point swing.

The winning robot will have to ability to...well...lets just say the coach is probably going to be key in this game with 9 places to score and 5 other robots on the field 3 of which are against you. It gets pretty deep. They said it at kickoff, the driver can't be stategizing and driving at the same time; there is just too much !

not to be picky but the most possible points from the middle goal would be 43 pts. since you would be adding 3 pts from the tetra it's self... team did a lot of this the first few days.

Re: What will the winning robot have?

I know it sounds obvious, but the winning robot is going to be the most reliable design. Whatever strategy it picks, it is going to accomplish the same thing during every autonomous mode (and it'll be a big strategy) and never break down, and continue an effective strategy throughout the match that the team is able to adapt based on the oponnents.

To review: Reliable and adaptable.

The winning robot will have a transmission other than the one that comes with the kit.

Re: What will the winning robot have?

I think the winning robot will be the same as every other year, a robot that is excellent at ONE thing. A robot that can do one thing well every single time. I know our team ran into trouble when we tried to have it do multiple things. The most important thing to do is make your robot desirable so that in case you aren't one of those lucky few who are seeded, teams well remember that your robot did the same thing constantly, so they can count on you.

The winning robot is definately going to have to be able to take a beating without breaking much or give out one heck of a beating

I hate to be picky too (actually thats a lie)...but you can get more than 43 points from the center goal...the 40 points from rows, 3 points for EVERY tetra stakced on it (not just one), and 1 point for every tetra nder/in it.
