Re: How did teams think of using the 'reverse curl' to get on the bar?
We wanted to:
1. Hang 2. Keep the CG Low 3. Keep the mechanism simple (single rotary joint = simple) We noticed Day 1 that the GDC's definition of the tower allowed for hanging from the vertical bar. We believed a vertical bar hanger would best fulfill the 3 goals above. In 1999 several teams elevated their robots 6" using nothing but a vertical bar (148 and 217 included). Thinking back to those robots provided inspiration that "this is possible" and some base designs to start thinking about improving. -John |
