Championship: Which type of robot are you?

[E.L.I.T.E. 48]

Team 48, Delphi E.L.I.T.E.

ramp / defensive bot

accomplishments this year
-finalists in Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh Regional)
-champions in Cleveland (Buckeye Regional)
-semi finalists in Toronto (Greater Toronto Regional)
(would have been in the finals, but we blew a tred)

250 mostly plays defense but can score on the rack as well. We can also climb ramps well.

team 141
score tubes on all three levelse
climb ramps if needed
two platforms, one on each side of the robot, both have front(22 degree) and side (20 degree) ramps
and we can push people



i dont think ive missed anything

I almost put hybrid tube scorer/ramp climber, but I think tube scorer is more appropriate. We score well enough that we could likely score 1-2 tubes (or place/remove a spoiler) during the time it would take to climb a ramp. The majority of time the rack configuration is such that scoring an extra tube would give 32 or more points (out weighing the ramp bonus).

If it makes sense, we'll climb (we do it well) but we'd rather score.

As a secondary ability, we are very good at removing spoilers (and then finding a better place for them).

LV Regional - qualifying 9-0-0
LV Regional - overall 15-1-0

climb ramps
able to play great defense

Team 65:
We are about to score tubes as well as climb ramps at the Great Lakes regional the maximum number of ringers scored by our team alone was 7 as far as climbing ramps as long as the ramp is 30 degrees or smaller and at least 28 inchs wide we can climb you

I wasn't going to comment on this but someone voted it in the poll.

Did anyone design their robot only to climb ramps?
Do you just sit in the home zone all match and wait for the ramps to deploy so you can climb them?

I assume they would at least play defense for most of the match then climb the ramps at the end. Ramp climbing is a secondary ability that becomes a hybrid with the 3 primary abilities. Another secondary ability is the ability to remove spoilers (and also score on the top row for that matter).

Team: 234
hybrid: tube scorer/ramp climber

Our robot scores tubes most of the time and we can get up to 7, if we aren't under heavy defense. We also can climb ramps/lifts, and sometimes it comes down to that, especially in finals matches, like at Boilermaker.

I put Hybrid: other because there was no option for all four, depending on the round. We have done at least two in a round, and I think three once or twice. Scoring, defense, ramps, and we'll climb if your ramps/lifts are better than ours or strategy calls for it.

Team 330 is an awsome hybrid. I was very impressed by the way they integrated a fast scoring mechanism with a robust ramp system when we played with them in San Diego.

Our robot (1516) is a totally defensive robot and can clime any ramp even if it has a steep angle, our robot has great pushing power and that is what allows it to push around any robot.
