Go to Post Is FIRST making it too easy?... yes they are making it easier than years past. But I would also say that does that matter? If students are still inspired to pursue more advanced designs and eventually a career in the technology sector we still have met our ultimate goal. - MikeDubreuil [more]

Re: Team 1708 2016 Robot ----HeartBreaker
Very nice looking robot. Curious, how wide is the frame on either side of the ball intake? Do you have at least 8" of frame to support the bumpers?

Re: Team 1708 2016 Robot ----HeartBreaker
We barely squeaked in the 8" on each side needed for the bumpers. The frame is roughly around 28" wide if I remember correctly.

Re: Team 1708 2016 Robot ----HeartBreaker
I'm curious. You say you lift the portcullis "to go under". I'm confused on how none of the rest of your robot would get stuck. Perhaps I'm missing something, or is this more "word play".

You will just have to stay tuned at competition not giving my details at the moment. You are not missing anything and was not meant for "wordplay" as the other sentence haha.

Re: Team 1708 2016 Robot ----HeartBreaker
It is not legal nor will we be going through it. Just a joke we had through out the season that we are not going under the low bar nor were we going to design a robot for that. We wanted to design a different type of robot.
