Go to Post The culture has shifted, people. You can act shocked and complain, and likely lose the attention of the students you want to reach through FRC and other activities, or you can shift with it, and make FRC relatable and relevant to a bunch of good kids with foul mouths. - mrnoble [more]

Talking Re: bumpers, a problem?
If you had a hovercraft, could you fly above 5 feet?

Ok I'll bite, <R08> states "The robot may not exceed the 60-inch height restriction at any time during the match."


And on a non-rule point, getting a hovercraft more than a few inches off the ground is hard...5 feet is nearly impossible.

I think he's asking (jokingly of course) if you could make a 60" robot and then raise it a few inches with the hover-drive, thus breaking the limit...and the answer would be no, you can't

Thumbs down Re: bumpers, a problem?
about the hover craft it would be almost impossible to steer. and when you are even bumped by another robot you would just start bouncing around the arena. you would not have the acceleration to stop you from bouncing around the arena
