[OCCRA]: IMPORTANT QUESTION!!!

We thought about a question... if at the end of the match we drive our robot onto the platform , dragging the cart with us, does that cart count as part of our robot? would we count as being on the platform or would the cart hold us back???

My question was just are we aloud to pull the cart totally onto the ramp and block anyone else from getting on the ramp?

Exclamation Re: [OCCRA]: IMPORTANT QUESTION!!!

back to the topic... i need an administrators opinion on whether or not driving a cart to block the ramp and still being in contact w/ it (the mobile goal), would keep out bot (on the ramp) from being couted as extra points... (as if the cart was an extension of our bot...)

but you have to remember, you can only lift it so far before the wedge on the other side touches down and drags

Talking Re: [OCCRA]: IMPORTANT QUESTION!!!

i didnt say that we were taking it on the ramp w/ us, just using it to block the entrance of it so that we could pull to the other side and block the ramp for everyone but us...

Re: [OCCRA]: IMPORTANT QUESTION!!!

Unless you ask the question in the Q & A forum for OCCRA I cannot answer it.

In the Q & A forum only official answers are given, here there is discussion from many persons.

Please ask question.
