Re: best way to score in the lower goals ??

note about the ramps: I was at the main kickoff location and I expieremented with the lower goals. if you give the ball a gently push it will go into the goal. If you put any kind of real force behind the ball it will most likely not go in. Shooting or throwing the ball won't work either because of the height of the lower goal opening (something like 10 inches high or something).

the corner goals are 48" long by 10" high. the starting size for a robot is 38"x28". assuming the bot sitting didn't expand after start, that is a 10"x10" opening. it isn't much but it's something. ALSO, there is another corner goal and only one more defending bot. so that is 3 offense bots on 1 defense. so as long as one of the offensive allinace robots can shoot into the center goal, sitting in front of a corner goal is an ineffective stratagy.
further more, proventing the opposing team from scoring is cutting off balls to your human player.

i know all this has been said before. and once the rules are thought about, it all becomes farely evident.


in regards to this:

you could have a bot that picks up balls from the field or an open-top-hopper that your human player throws balls into. then you could have a "draw bridge" that lowers to about ...say.... 5" about above ground level and have a hopper with a slanted bottom. the balls in the hopper would roll right in after clearing a 1" high incline. ...or something like that...

hope that helps a little. i'm looking forward to seeing all the bots this year. oooo so excited.

330 has not done a small ball robot since 2000. 45 (2004) would be a better example here.
