Championship: Which type of robot are you?

[cbale2000]

Team 703's bot is a hybrid Defense/Ramp Climber/Ramp Bot and we're good at all three. Anyone who went to Detroit or West Michigan knows this too.

[Hadi379]

Team 379 is an offensive/defensive hybrid, we can score consistently and play some very tough defense. We can also climb ramps with the best of them. This is what helped us win the buckeye regional, of course, 291 and 48 were a big help as well. Thanks guys!

Did anyone design their robot only to climb ramps?
Do you just sit in the home zone all match and wait for the ramps to deploy so you can climb them?

I assume they would at least play defense for most of the match then climb the ramps at the end. Ramp climbing is a secondary ability that becomes a hybrid with the 3 primary abilities. Another secondary ability is the ability to remove spoilers (and also score on the top row for that matter).

Team: 234
hybrid: tube scorer/ramp climber

Our robot scores tubes most of the time and we can get up to 7, if we aren't under heavy defense. We also can climb ramps/lifts, and sometimes it comes down to that, especially in finals matches, like at Boilermaker.

1124 is a hybrid robot. We're mainly a scorer + ramp climber, but we also do have strong defensive capabilities and our own double ramp. Generally we stick to the scoring and ramp climbing, though.

I put Hybrid: other because there was no option for all four, depending on the round. We have done at least two in a round, and I think three once or twice. Scoring, defense, ramps, and we'll climb if your ramps/lifts are better than ours or strategy calls for it.

Scorer and ramp climber

very simple scorer putting up 4 ringers. Built extra narrow with high torque to climb most anything

[E.L.I.T.E. 48]

Team 48, Delphi E.L.I.T.E.

ramp / defensive bot

accomplishments this year
-finalists in Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh Regional)
-champions in Cleveland (Buckeye Regional)
-semi finalists in Toronto (Greater Toronto Regional)
(would have been in the finals, but we blew a tred)

[SSMike]

250 mostly plays defense but can score on the rack as well. We can also climb ramps well.

Team 330 is an awsome hybrid. I was very impressed by the way they integrated a fast scoring mechanism with a robust ramp system when we played with them in San Diego.

Our robot (1516) is a totally defensive robot and can clime any ramp even if it has a steep angle, our robot has great pushing power and that is what allows it to push around any robot.
