Who has the most unique way of hurdling and/or herding?

[XaulZan11]

After watching some videos from St. Louis both 525 and 45 had unique methods. While they may not have been the best, they got the job done in a unique way. 525's reverse lift seems very simple, allowing them to not have to backup and bring thier arm back to hurdle. 45 also has a way that solve that problem that many arms have of having to back up and retract thier arm. Thier 'swinging arm' is works similary to 217's as it swings back, allowing the robot to drive under the overpass quickly after hurlding. I think that with a little more practice, they can certainly be a big threat in thier upcomming regionals and in Atlanta.

I do agree that 217 is also unique, but they have already been mentioned plenty of times already.

971 is hands down the most unique

the gripper is cool, but are there any of it actually hurdling?

The Thread is: Who has the most unique way of hurdling and/or herding?
I didn't know we had to hurdle to play this game

Hmm, for most unique I'm going to have to say either 971 for their cloth method or 16 for method of aquiring the ball. When I saw 16's on the webcast I never thought it would work, but they proved me wrong.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I think this "cinching" idea was briefly mentioned in our strategy session, glad to see someone pull it off. I also agree with what was said earlier about 45, very unique solution to the problem of running into the hurdle, i really just want to see that thing go around as fast as it can.

They have some youtube ones linked to from their pictures in CD media I believe.
