Re: What row will you score on or will you score at all?

we're actually going to score every tube. even the ones that aren't ours. We won't be using will power; rather we will be using the magic smoke out of our camera, victors, and other various electronics. Its pretty potent stuff.

Be careful with that magic smoke, remember a little goes a long way.

Re: What row will you score on or will you score at all?

Our team is planning on building an arm that can score on all three heights and pick up the rings from the round and all three spider feet levels. Unfortunately I don’t think our team has the expertise to use magic smoke safely so our arm will need to be built with old fashion engendering and machining.

Re: What row will you score on or will you score at all?

team 1757 is going for trilateral scoring ability!

...or maybe we'll just try to score on all three levels. in any case, we said we'd try to score in the low goals last year, and i'm pretty sure we scored one poof ball all competition with our robot (go rookies); i don't know how much i can trust us . all the other balls we scored were a direct result of my cannon arm and lucky bounces . hopefully our sophomore season won't be as scary as our rookie one.

and i want to holla at the t-hawks (!), who i'm sure we'll be seeing again in boston this year

Re: What row will you score on or will you score at all?

Last year we decided to go for both the center goal and the ramp and it turned out pretty well. This year we're going for everything again.

Re: What row will you score on or will you score at all?

I think scoring in the middle row would probably be the best position strategically, since you can continue making a vertical row either from the upper or lower "spider leg." Other than that, I'd guess the bottom row.

Re: What row will you score on or will you score at all?

Our team is working on an arm that would theoretically be able to get up to the top row, though it's more likely we'll just stick with the bottom two. The primary function of our robot will be a Defender/Platform for the end of the match so the arm is a secondary priority. If we have enough weight we'll go for all 3.

Re: What row will you score on or will you score at all?

It is key in this game to be flexible with your scoring options and tube retrieval options. I think it is an important strategy to work with your alliance partners on this one, such as one team taking a specific part of the rack. Although this may create another defensive strategy to notice scoring patterns and then block a team from their section, that's a completely different story...

Our team has an extendable lift which travels 10 feet in the air. We will score on all three levels.

Re: What row will you score on or will you score at all?

we've got a design in mind that will effectively score on all three levels. The only problem now is implementing it
(btw, we haven't figured out how to completely tap into the powers of magic smoke, so we've started actually engineering )

Our team will figure that out when we get the arm finished but as it stands right now our goal is all three.

Talking Re: What row will you score on or will you score at all?

were shooting for the middle and lower rows, using the arm we desingned we might be able to go higher but were gonna try and keep it simple.
