Re: String Theory: <G22> at the Championships

this idea reminds me of the 2002 game when there was some team that a rope that popped out like 10 feet and got them into their home zone for extra points.

The problems are:
entanglement(illegal contact outside the bumper zone)
not having a lot of control of the rope because it is a rope which is not stiff(may cause even more g22s)
it cant be very long because you have to stay within an 80 inch cylinder

And, if you did have strings attached to your robot, a legal entaglement would gain a whole new physical dimension...

Legal entanglement NOT GOOD!

I could see your bot getting stopped by another bot simple parking on your string... also not good.

But along the thinking of a G22 work around...

Instead of a string trailing from behind, what about some sort of pipe or pole extending out over the pane. Something that you could extend and retract at will?

Re: String Theory: <G22> at the Championships

I was very excited to see this thread, until I figured out what it was actually about. I was pumped to read about actual string theory.

... I had a good feeling it wasn't about that string theory. I've read way too many books and seen too many movies on string theory as well as read way too many posts on Chief to know that this wasn't the real deal. Come on Karthik, you should have known better! ...

*Sarcasm Meter*

On another note, I believe this topic needs to officially be asked in a Q&A. This could seriously alter any strategy of the possible Einstein teams and maybe, just maybe, we will have some penalty free matches...

Re: String Theory: <G22> at the Championships

Perhaps to resolve the entanglement issue just have a big metal stick poke out from behind the robot. This stick should be at bumper height and should be retractable.
