Many teams this year are still concerned about their robots and what the other teams’ robots are capable of. However, once you watch this video you may want to rethink your strategy.
Also check out our youtube page for more videos like this. Soon this video will be uploaded there as well.
can he throw that over the barrier though? we have found that the circle rolls if you throw it well, and the triangle is easy to throw at least 40 feet, the square is much harder to get to fly straight though.
there is also going to be a wall in front of him. Our human player wants to be able to score by throwing the tubes :yikes:
We’re almost done building our prototype human player. He should be ready for testing by the weekend. We’ll start working on the final version after we get all the bugs sorted out of v1.0.
Won’t the wall between the human player the field get in the way of the throw? Another question is whether you can use tubes to throw them over and knock the other team’s tubes off the grid.
It took him about 20 seconds to psych himself up for that. He may want to work on it :rolleyes:
Nice camera work.
you can not use your tubes to de-score tubes
There are a lot better ways to throw tubes than that this year.
With clever video editing, the 148 HP can score on the Galileo field all the way from the Newton field. BEWARE!
I have been practicing and I can throw it about 3/4 of the field (yes i have a wall and yes the back in is in play) but I probably wont be doing this unless its a desperation, last 30 seconds of the game type thing.
148 is rigging matches on other fields in order to get the Einstein match-up they want. You heard it here first.
Thank you 
and we will continue to work with him on his form and aim!
Look at any discus thrower’s form. You can learn a thing or two from it.
