Wow.. that is simply amazing, great job rage and good luck with your prototype!

man look @ that goal bow under the weight....cool....

[Denman]

how do you get the claw out from underneath them?

[tkwetzel]

Might they have fallen over because the goal isn't level? I noticed that before but was too tired to associate that with the tetras falling. For those that didn't notice, the goal is not flat on the floor, it is sitting on the floor and what looks like a few 2x4's.

Right, our field isn't wide enough, so to make up, we put the outside goals through out field border. Now we have the proper spacing between the goals. Also, our goals are PVC, the competition goals are aluminum, so I don't think they will bend as much as ours.

With that claw, we just open it and back up and it comes out. But, it's just the prototype.

Video? I'll see what I can do. We have to make some repairs to the robot first, so I'm not sure when we'll be able to make the video.

Could the unlevelness of the goal have caused the teteas to fall over sooner than they would if the goal wasn't unlevel?

most definetly, the ones that are level on the ground, stay level

Also, just as a note, any teams in CT who are close to us and want to use the field for practice or testing, just PM me or my brother (Ogre)
