Re: Has a hybrid won yet?

We (1359) have a hybrid that works pretty well. It's a rack scorer with a (hidden) ramp built into the chassis. Unlike many other hybrids i've seen, ours is a rack scorer with a ramp as opposed to a ramp scorer with an arm. Most of the time we never used the ramp because there were more professional ramp robots on our team but when a match came along where we had no other ramp robot, we opened up our ramp and really almost scored. *the robot who drove up us got into place and instead of staying put, moved off and fell* Our people up in the stands said they heard people saying stuff like "woah, what's that? They have a ramp?"
Our robot looks like any other scorer and scores really efficiently but when it's needed, we have a ramp.

Just saying, hybrids are often underestimated. Somewhere on youtube, I saw a match with a team called Riot Crew. They had a hybrid with what looked like 2 large ramps.Their arm scored nearly perfectly. Sometimes, hybrids dont work well with either function and sometimes they work really well on both. I think hybrids rule.
