To hang or not to hang

to hang or not to hang

We could get more points if we hang

we could get more complex if we hang... Dx
im not for hanging, im for getting on top of the platform... same number of points....

depends, hanging from another robot or hanging our self
scoring might be better because more people might be focusing on hanging, while we come in and BAM! score
but if we could do both that would be awsome

That's true. Do we have to stay up on the plateform for a certain amount of time to get the points like hanging?

till the buzzer i believe

Probably right... They can't make two points easier than that...

well I think being able to go up 6" is difficult, there is an easy chance to tip

But if we make a bot that can drive upside down, we could make as many attempts as we want XD

that is very true, i think designing a robot that can drive both ways is something we should look into

do you think a robot on the platform block another robot from hanging? cuz that could potentially block the other team from seven points... that's alot!

Don't forget the camera idear I explained to you today

No not really, they'll be on the outside of the tower we'll be on the inside of the tower poles

thats even if they go for the points

and lol i will try not to forget the camara thing

i feel outta the loop D8
whats the camera thingy?

I have an idea for hanging onto another robot... Check out the topic in mechanics in the departments category

Sorry... uhh I was explaining to blondy here about a camera that has a weight at the end of it, so if the bot flips over, we could still see right- side up no matter which way the robot is facing.

interesting....

Yeah we were discussing it almost the whole last 10 minutes of the meeting today. I think it could work really well.

aye aye ^^

yea that might work for the camara

and for the 3 pointer...how would the clamps function

I'm considering pistons. They could grasp onto one of our temmates while they're hanging around.

hmmmm very interesting

hmm.... well, it all depends on the chassis of our robot, how wide and how long it is compared tot he other robot, right?
unless it extends past the sides of our chassiss...

Two could pop out of the top of the bot and "clamp"

mhm chassis is important for this
