I've talked with a team leader, and we put our heads together and came out with 100% proven design, that we've seen perform, and we can get it to perform even better, and it all happened in about 30 minutes.

One thing that I was thinking of during this "end game" was that teams will try to get ready and set, and then they will unload. The thing about launching balls is that it can be mest up easily. A defensive robot would simply have to ram the shooting robot and then that can easily mess up any shooting, especially if the other robot is sporting some omnis. Just a though.

It seems like just the game to regain some interest in the FTC platform. That being said, all the PVC pipe has me worried. Someone is going to take down the center goal, and it should be fun to watch.

Do you mean like..."literally" take it down or like ... score a lot of points? And the robots' extensions are limited this year, so I don't think any robot can wage too much damage to it.


TO EVERYONE, involved and not involved, READ THE RULES!!!! Compared to last year, the game is WAY different, and the robot rules are even more different.(Including the servo/motor numbers).
