Suspending - Chief Delphi

Being in FIRST and putting the focus on the robot is like building a robot and putting the focus on the bandsaw (or mill or lathe, or whatever you do your machining with). The robot is a tool we use to play the game, the game is a tool we use to inspire and teach. - GeeTwo [more]

Re: Suspending

The only robot at FLR that was designed to be "suspended" off of had a wide hook, and other robots were meant to hang off it's hook. However, it became obvious that the hook wasn't large enough for two robots to share, or enough time to get them both elevated.

I am of the opinion that the suspending mechanic does not get enough points to make it worth it, or even is it feasible. In summary, the GDC made a mistake.
