Photoshopped? We’d never do such a thing :D. We’re merely testing our new anti gravity code the programmers whipped up.
This was just our team having some fun and jumping on board with some of the other bench grinder posts this season. I’m just finishing uploading the raw footage to YouTube now.
It being April Fools, I was expecting an actual bench grinder on a robot or something. Or just mounted to a workbench. But no, just another censored testing video…
Why do you say this climb is illegal? There are no bumpers on the bot in that video. The way our bumper are mounted this is a legal climb in terms of the bumpers being above the low goal. Is there something other than the bumper rules I am missing here?
Also note that we competed in week 0.5 at palmetto where we successfully scaled.
The bottom of your bumpers must be completely above the line.
The front of your robot is currently tilting downwards, (or appears to be in the video) meaning your bumpers in the front will also be titling downwards, (or level if you have them angled in the bumper zone, when the frame is parallel to the ground).
From the video, it looks like a good portion of your frame is already below the line.
