Go to Post Do not worry about the VEX camp versus FIRST camp issues. It is a huge marketplace. It is only about 4% penetrated. There is room for everyone. And competition is good for the consumer. - ebarker [more]

Re: The ultimate game breaker bot.

Im gonna summarize what we have so far.
If you build a robot which can effectively climb up to the top of the tower and use a non active mecanism that can deflect balls from the ball return back into our goal is completely legal as long as the ball does not go more than 3 inches into that mecanism.
You could build a robot which could easily change the course of the game.
Now im going to point out the major flaw with this tactic, and the reason that it wont be a winning strategy.
Flaw: When not in the finale period, it is 100% legal to reach up and knock that robot off the tower.
Also, if you do your job too well, it will be difficult to get all the balls back into play on time, if you had more than 5 balls cycling @ once it could be difficult to get them back into game @ sure.
I for one, am planning for both parts of it and i will love to see some of what you guys pull off.
