Image Discuss: Team 60 - Knocking Down Boxes 1

It looks like as you knock the boxes down, you sort of cradle them within your “sail.” Is this correct?

It was pointed out to me, that your robot could possibly hold the entire wall of boxes for the entire match, and simply regurgitate them onto your scoring zone at the very end.

Am I close?

It seems like the sail is overkill if you simply knock the boxes down, especially coming from a team such as yours. I expect something more complicated than a giant wall…

:smiley:

AWESOME!:ahh:

You were close. We changed the wings today. So now you are not close any more.

The wall is simple but effective on multiple levels. We have other subsystems that are more complicated (i.e. gearbox). However, we wanted to keep it as simple as possible but to as effective as possible. I think we did a pretty good job. Come by the pit and take a closer look at Phoenix, LA, or Houston.

Hope to see you there and good luck to your team

how long does it take for you to hit the boxes?

I’ll see you in Houston.
Missed you guys last year (we didn’t attend nats) and I definitely won’t make that mistake again. :smiley:

Good luck!

With the wings and bins positioned like that, isn’t the visibility of the light an issue?

Am I missing something I don’t see any boxes being knocked down?? Maybe I’m blind? Put a video up!
