Re: Dual Robots

Detaching significant parts of a robot is legal as long as any/all parts used weighed under 120lbs. This year I could easily see removing your hurdler and ball recovery mechanisms to get fast and agile. Especially if your two alliance partners were the best hurdlers at the regional. Last year I saw many robots that had damaged manipulators that ran without the manipulators while they were being repaired.

To have a smaller and larger robot could be difficult, no impossible, to have both meet all the standards, i.e. bumpers, flag holder, RC, battery. I have seen watercraft that attach to a smaller PWC to make small boat that can carry six to eight people. If you had a self contained small robot and then built a larger fully functional, all the bells and whistles robot around it that could be removed, could be very interesting. As long as both together weighed 120lbs or less.

Post a video and GOOD LUCK!
