Re: Best/Strangest Defense Techniques
We applied three tactics at Palmetto, in descending order of use:
1) Get between them and the rack. When we're one of the faster robots out there (which appeared to be often), this is not especially hard. 2) Clip a corner (or the end of a side, your choice). You don't have to move the whole robot, just enough to throw them off course. 3) Textbook brute-force pushing match. Sometimes, you just wind up in a textbook pushing match. Sometimes, you even win. Not imaginative, but it was enough for a robot with a bad arm (and, in nearly two qualification matches, a dead drive system) to seed 12th and pick. |

The foot went in the gap in our ramp and actually got stuck on the bar that runs between the lift cams. Our driver worked for over a minute to get unstuck and finally with a push from our Puerto Rican friends managed to get us free. BTW That gap will no longer be there at The Championship. |

Re: Best/Strangest Defense Techniques
Team 1975 is a ramp bot without a drive train. They flip over in the beginning of the match and wait for their partners to drive up them. We played them in one of our qualifiers. While we were tubing, we had our partners go attempt to push them out of the home zone, considering once they were out they most likely couldnt get back in. Moral of the story was...they were unmovable...I believe we still won the match tho.

Re: Best/Strangest Defense Techniques
Teams tried that on us. Didn't work haha. It takes like 2 seconds to clear them out.

Re: Best/Strangest Defense Techniques
well some of the arm bots were arm heavy so we just spun their light side
we got between them and the rack and we also had a big tarp thing to keep them from scoring from over us. who knew castor bots could be so powerful? ![]() vivek |
