Re: pic: Flux Capacitor

if you run a cable from the plutonium in the truck to your pit, it might work

they would never know the difference

Re: pic: Flux Capacitor

I don't think plutonium is explicitly made illegal in the rules ... Of course there is some general rule that goes, don't use things that can kill everyone at the competition.

Wouldn't the refs get mad at you for leaving flames behind your robot when it hits 88 feet per second?

Re: pic: Flux Capacitor

According to the 2008 Parts Use Flowchart, it probably can't be used.

Quote:
Is the part a safety hazard, or likely to damage robots, the field, game pieces, or interfere with the humans or the controls?
And...
Quote:
Energy Sources? Is the part an energy source...?
Both of those YES answers end up being not allowed. (Did you notice all the YES answers in the flowchart end up being NO conclusions? Sounds like life, doesn't it?) The rules also mention not allowing gerbils, but nothing about hampsters. There might be some wiggle room going down the "Electronics" branch, if you can get by the "safety hazard" above it. By the way, usfirst.org is already set up for the 2009 FRC Competition Manual!

Doctorwho: More like "field damage" -- refs wouldn't get mad, but you'd get DQ'd! But more realistically (once you build the flux capacitor ), how are you going to hit 88 feet per second when an empty field is a little over 60-feet on the diagonal?

Think Geek has a replica available, and the obligatory sign.

Re: pic: Flux Capacitor

I like Roger's analysis above but we should also consider that GP pushes us away from items that are not available to all teams. That is unless the provider is willing to deal with all teams.
