I know it’s not graciously professional, but it was cool. I just want to know,
WHO FLIPPED MOST ROBOTS???
We never meant any harm to anyone…Honest. It just happened that two of our drivers were crazier than others. Out of nowhere, when robots came near us, they just flipped. We always tried to help anyone who needed help after being flipped.
Well, getting to the point, even though I am not really proud of it, I think we could be entitled- or blammed- for flipping most robots. I think the count after Phoenix and LA was about 13.
13?! Do you have a wedge or something?!
It was so crazee. We don’t have any wedge or any mechanism designed to flip. It is plain, flat robot. It just flips anyone that comes near it.
Here are some pics
Oh, yeah… I remember that pink bumper robot at Phoenix.
You guys were soo fast, I thought you caught some air off the ramp a couple of times. You cracked our frame in that match we were against you guys.
But it was fun and IT’S ALL GOOD!!!
That was a cool season. I personally flipped several bots. We didn’t try, but it sure looked cool and the crowd loved it. I think that FIRST should try to pack this kind of action into the game design more.
MORE FLIPS=MORE FUN!

Be very careful what you wish for, Dave will read this…
I think stacker designs fliped the most robots.
After that, 100 fliped itself most every match at SVR.

Alice In Chains - Heaven Beside YouThis is a ridiculous thread. People should not be bragging about how many robots they flip, and how good they are at it. Robots should play that game to the best of their ability in a fair manner. If you were flipped over by another robot, I don’t think you would be too happy, ESPECIALLY if it was intentional, much less somebody posting your team number saying you are easily flipped.
We never flipped anybody intentionally. I was just saying that there were some real cool matches. We lost because there are robots better than us. Don’t be offended just because we say the word “flip.” We like playing all teams out there!
Our robot flipped a few at StL and Midwest. I think the count was about 9 or 10. Most of them were the same ones though. In StL we ALMOST flipped Baxter, but we didn’t. We were told to stop flipping people or we would be penalized but we couldn’t. And we were never penalized. We were also flipped many times too. If our robot was going up the ramp and up against a bunch of boxes with our wheels still rushing, we will flip and screw up our arms.:ahh:
