Team 1247 pops a wheelie
Hello people of CD! I do believe team 1247 has made something wonderful! Here is a video of our robot poppin' a wheelie with its two wheeled drive awesomeness... (excused our mentors giggling )

A slow motion one will be up soon. EDIT: Here you go.

Re: Team 1247 pops a wheelie
Cool video! However, I wouldn't use it in competition. You'll tip over with any other part of your robot tower/shooter on it, and I'd personally hate to see that happen in competition to a team like you.

Re: Team 1247 pops a wheelie
To be honest, our team hasn't done too hot in comps, though we have been selected once by a team, and our robot didn't even work fully!

So then be successful this year by not tipping over. You grow with experience. I know for sure you'll have a good season.

Re: Team 1247 pops a wheelie
I think an easy way to avoid this (assuming you want to avoid this during competition ) would simply be to move the battery over the front 2 wheels.

That said, it does make for some funny moments and videos.

Good luck this year!

My team used wheelies to lower the bridge when our other plan wasn't working out, and we never fell over in competition. We were selected to a team, but lost early on due to problems on another robot.

Re: Team 1247 pops a wheelie
The bumpers generally don't let the robot tip. I saw Team 470 use it successfully at Waterford and Northville.

Re: Team 1247 pops a wheelie
Nothing better than using stunt drive (our wheelie-friendly skid drive that does all kinds of fun things) to lift a robot onto the bridge.

16ish pounds of force to lower the bridge, you say? HOW ABOUT AN ENTIRE ROBOT INSTEAD.

I love it mostly because I love that we got to finals with it.

Re: Team 1247 pops a wheelie
I tried that once, and I bent our ball pickup pretty baldly. It was only a spare on a practice not, but it hurt my ego a little too.
