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.

An ice pick on the end of the arm.

Seriously, the ability to cap the middle in auto.

Re: What will the winning robot have?

Good Coordination between all three of the alliance parters for any given round. This can't be a solo free for all and everyone will need to work closely with their parners if they want to do and win rounds

Re: What will the winning robot have?

A robot that has an arm that can pick up a tetra in any position (where the arm rotates to grab the tetra), stack, and drop tetras at will. Autonomous is also key, and so is a two-speed tranny, which detects when there is a collision and switches gears. Programming is also key for the robot, and the ability to autonomously control (even in human control mode) complex systems.

Re: What will the winning robot have?

I think the winning robot will have to be fast and effective. People are talking about alliances...of course other robots can help you win. That's why you scout to find the best robots to compliment what you do. The best robot however will be able to score fast and effectively. Probably some kind of capping mechanism. Good luck guys!

Re: What will the winning robot have?

i disagree that autonomous is as big a deal as everyone is making it seem....the max you can get from vision tetra 9 pts.....3 tetras.....i bet that gets beat fairly quickly....I think there are more valuable things to do in autonomous....

i think the winning bot will have a low cg and has to be able to take a tremendous beating.....oh yeah capping might be nice

Re: What will the winning robot have?

well, you can have the ability to start off controlling the center goal. While that alone doesn't give you 40 pts, it DOES allow you to prevent the other team from gaining those 40 pts. (or with the right alliance, possession of that goal COULD actually give you 40 pts.)

Good drivers, reliable design (emphasis on good drivers). They're also going to have to be able to pin any other robot in the competition.

Ah, now we're getting into switching gears on the fly. High speed/low torque to low speed/high torque. It's an old technique in these games, but still quite useful if your driver is on the ball.

Re: What will the winning robot have?

I dont see the big value of the center goal. Sure, it gives you a possible of 43 + points but lets talk some sense here. The only way to get a row out of the middle is to have the top and bottom middle tetras, or a tetra in the enemy's base line. With 3 robots on the enmy team, do you think you will be able to cap and hold a tetra in the enemy's last row? If you do, youd have to defend it throughout the match, youd be stranded far away from tetra input into the game (human or automated) and your liable to get it capped when you rush back to the line for the +10 bonus, or when the enemy bots are coming home. Sure, it sets you up for more rows, but they will be very hard fought. I think the wining robot will put 2-3 tetras on each of thier back rows positions, claim a tetra on the top or bottom middle row, and then defned those four.

"The winning teams will have a very good coach."

"The ability to quickly load and store multiple tetras on the robot."
Petey

"its going to be a box with a stick on it."
Tytus Gerrish

Combination of the above 3. HIGH EMPHASIS on 3rd quote the idea may look stupid, but looks can be deceiving.
