I wonder why you'd want a robot so tall unless you plan to climb the tower and not go over any bumps.

No reason a tall robot can't go over a bump, as long as it keeps the CG low enough. The tall clearance indicates to me that they're very much intending to go over the bump.

Cool chassis! How do you plan on overcoming turning scrub?

dodar · #5 13-02-2010, 23:55

i doubt this but is this as far as you guys are this far into build?

How is the turning with those wheels?

Maybe a blocking system of some kind? They will be able to block shots if there is a panel covering the space between the bars.

I think the side is like a half roll cage, so if they tip forward, you can push under it and gain leverage to right them?

Or, much more likely, "just" a hanging arm.

Turning is overrated

Bouncing balls back towards your zone off
the tower? That'd be my best guess.

Rule or Q&A link?

That rule only limits the intrusion of the ball to 3" inside a mechanism above the bumper zone.

A ramp has 0" of intrusion. You could also have a funnel of some sort with 3" tall sidewalls, that would be 3" of intrusion.
