Re: Suspending
There is a huge difference between 07 and this years game. Starting with the difference between a 84 inch circle and a 72 inch square.
You only had to get a robot 12" off the of ground compared to 20". Plus this year after you get two robots on the ramp you have to somehow elevate your own. All for couple points extra. |

Re: Suspending
The Granite State Regional saw plenty of successful elevations, but not a single suspension... I'll be surprised if they happen much this season!

Re: Suspending
I bet someone will hang off of 2062's robot sometime, maybe just in practice, but they can support robots.

Re: Suspending
Kettering had two on one tower. They each used a vertical pole. The enginerds bot could pull this off but they would have to have the right partners and start very early in match. The way the seeding points are i don't see any reason not to try.

Re: Suspending
Ouch. It looks like some people misunderstood the definition of SUSPENSION. Ramps are only useful in getting robots onto the PLATFORM...
Being on top of a robot that is not itself ELEVATED or SUSPENDED earns you exactly nothing. |

Re: Suspending
And the only reason we didn't have a single/double lift at Kettering was because we never had the right partners. Team 1322 was close to hanging off of us, but there ended up being timing issues, and they pulled us down at the last moment. But we proved that we can hang teams, and I think at Ann Arbor we will see the first double suspend.

Re: Suspending
To add to what Zach said:
In the match with 1322, one of the two hooks on our Team's attachment mechanism was not secured to the field tower. Team 1322 successfully attached their robot to our supports, but since we were not completely attached to the tower, it caused our robot to move into a lower vertical position where we were no longer considered elevated. We are able to successfully elevate our (single) robot with the support of one hook, as proven in two matches at the Kettering University District. After the aforementioned match, we discovered the root problem of the difficulty of attaching both hooks, and made some physical modifications to the design. These changes yielded positive results, which allowed our robot to successfully elevate itself in the successive matches. The last determining factor that attributed to our inability to allow another robot to suspend from our mechanism, is that the alliance selection assignments did not provide our Team with an alliance partner whose robot had the ability to suspend itself off of the tower. Since our robot is designed such that any robot with the ability to elevate from the tower also has the ability to be supported by our robot, no one was able to attempt to suspend themselves from us. I would also like to thank Team 1322 for your immense efforts to attempt to suspend your robot from ours. Had our Team's second hook successfully attached to the tower, we certainly would have seen the first elevate/suspension! Thanks for all of the great teamwork! -Clinton- |

Re: Suspending
Multiple elevations weren't uncommon at the FLR, even though we had no suspensions.

Re: Suspending
It's not as though we didn't have plenty of multiple elevations at Kettering, either. Teams like 27, RUSH; and 33, the Bees, could easily elevate while another team that used the horizontal bars elevated, but ours was the only match to see something even close to an Elevate/Suspend; however, there was another match where Lapeer East was positioning themselves to suspend from us when we had gotten both hooks onto the tower, they just never even really got started before the countdown finished.

Re: Suspending
2337 the Enginerds did have a bar that simulated the tower, and there was 1 attempt to suspend off of it, but they ran out of time. The other team, whom i cannot recall their number, had the grappling hook attached but did not have time to fire up the winch to pull themselves up. So disappointing.

If we only count our lifts on Saturday, I would think that we were the best lifter behind 1551. (or no?) Last edited by Alex Cormier : 07-03-2010 at 22:00. |
