One trick that Andrew didn't mention - our robot will be able to let the babies out of all the bins.

Wow, that was really funny.

I award you 5 points for wonderfully creative use of a baby joke.

Hey, I have always believed that the longer the better, so why no 50'? You could pick up their controls and toss them into the crowd and win easily.

i had an idea for a robot that threw the boxs over the ramp it could also throw them at the other players stacks but the rest of the team turned it down

[LeadRiccardoT]

hahaha! none of your plans compare to the ultimate invention of team 849!!!

We were going to spray-paint our smallest member silver and put him in a sterilite container with a big hole at the bottom.

Once the game begins, he'll run around flinstone style and stack all the boxes! Then, near the end he'll add himself to a stack! Pure genius!

Except we realized that there was a sticker on the lid of the box that specifically stated that we weren't allowed to leave people in the sterilite container.

With that plan foiled we resorted to plan B: build a real robot, sigh...

Oh yeah? Team 108 was using engineers in a cart. I'll have to get the pictures and post them later. Basically, we had an engineer (our team leader at that) locked in a cage to hold an arm made out of PVC. After realizing what exactly we were doing, we figured, "Hey, why build a real robot?" We had everything figured out perfectly, We'd tell FIRST he got stuck during construction and we can't get him out without dismantling the whole robot, thus he must stay in until competition's over. Another advantage to this scheme is that we'll be the only team with a robot that can get worked on even after the pits close. We just have to leave the tools within arm's reach of the bot....

I don't think it would ever make weight requirements. Perhaps if you had a little kid in there?

Well, think about this, how long is the timeframe from ship date till competition. Im thinking by then our engineer should have been pretty well malnourished being in drayage all that time, that he's proboly lost quite a few pounds.

Our robot can pick up other robots and fling them around ...well that'll be cool
Our robot basically has the same functions that most ppl are thinking about, dominating middle, moving boxes, etc.

Right now we're best at playing dead, but working on roll over and fetch.
