Re: Can you "flip" your robot to give you a 60" width?
ya you can do this, people have done it mutiple times in the past for several different reasons.
The best examples that I know of are: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/14204 http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/21751 Alex |

Ya, that may be helpful, but our plan is perfect. If you got that to work properly for you that would be awesome.

Re: Can you "flip" your robot to give you a 60" width?
I'm going to go ahead and have you file these TPS reports... errr... I ment go ahead and guess that one of two situations will occur:
Situation A: Quote:
My logic tells me you only need to place standard bumpers for each drive base, so if the robot can move in two different position you would need a standard bumper for each position, but not for positions where the robot can not move. you run the risk that if your mechanism fails and you can't flip, and you don't have bumpers, other robots might hit you. this is just my logic and not an official FIRST answer! This is definitely something for the Q&A, just so we know how they want us to do this exactly.... (us=FIRSTers... my team isn't going for this design since we want the most height for the overpass hurdeling...) -Leav |

Re: Can you "flip" your robot to give you a 60" width?
For about minutes today our team was thinking about "morphing" our robot. We would just kind of push the two sides out somehow then leave a space in the front. But we thought it would be too complicated to do. But you might be able to try that

"PLAYING CONFIGURATION - The physical configuration and orientation of the ROBOT while playing the game (i.e. after the MATCH has started, and the ROBOT has deployed mechanisms, moved away from the starting location, and/or interacted with the field, GAME PIECES, or other ROBOTS). This configuration is dynamic, and may change multiple times during the course of a single MATCH." |

So, when you flip, your flag holder will stay up at 51 inches (R17), in other words, your robot will open up like a jacknife .
