Re: Mecanum Defense
well there is another way which i found very easy to do...im with team 1555 and you dont really need all that big of a transmission ...all we used was the banebots transmission you are given in the kit... well most robots this year are very easly pushed just by hitting there corners and turning them 180 degrees... this way you can take on more than 1 robot....which i was able to do many many times

Re: Mecanum Defense
From what I hear, we ended up as number one in defense on many team's scouting lists, just because of how manueverable we were. If you turn your ramp towards them and stay in between the other robot and the rack, it's almost like holding a poster and walking. Bonus points if you slap them-ahem-the tube with the ramp.

Re: Mecanum Defense
our holonomic drive was actualy fairly good at getting us into the way of robots trying to score, though most of the time we were the ones scoring
it also makes it easy to drive circles around torqued up 6 wheelers trying to play rough D. |

I saw that 858 had a good defensive robot in the qualifiers, but one they got into the elims they were very ineffective at defending teams. Same for 1000, our partner and the number 1 seed. Edit: Both 858 and 1000 had tank drive. Last edited by Jeremiah Johnson : 21-03-2007 at 11:29. |

Re: Mecanum Defense
We holonomic drive this year and before we got our arm to function we played d. Since we could srafe back and forth we could gaurd almost half the rack by our self. Just as long as we dont get into any pushing matches

Re: Mecanum Defense
Watch 1138's matches from L.A. to see how to use a mecanum to slow down two robots. You did not want to be against them if you were a tube robot.

Re: Mecanum Defense
At Lone Star Regional, team 118 (Robonauts) used a "v6 engine"
http://youtube.com/watch?v=h3l6Xqts4to they basically put together 6 motors to create a monster v6 engine. Their arm was very quick and effective, allowing them to score a row of 8 by themselves. We *team 846* had saw that video before we arrived at the regional and were somewhat curious how we were going to defend them. When our match against them finally came, we just double teamed their robot, eventually blowing out their v6, forcing them to use their backup v6. A double team can easily force a blown engine = great defense. ![]() |

During quarter final match 1 we took a hit that caused some electrical problems in the robot. Our frantic troubleshooting caused other problems and we were never fully functional the rest of the tournament. It was a struggle to get a robot out on the field after each tough match which followed. It seemed everything that could go wrong with the robot went wrong... except the V6. There was no "blown engine"... just one that came out of gear due to a hard hit in the last match. |

Re: Mecanum Defense
If the rack is defended properly by a 4/6/8 wheel drive robot, it is just as good if not better than the macanum drives. It all depends on how you try to defend.
