Team 202 Slim Margins built this robot in 24 hours after the reveal. Our only two goals with this robot were to build it 24 hours after the new game reveal and to have it be able to accomplish all tasks in the game.
Since the game came out yesterday we obviously didn’t have any official game objects. We built our game object out of cones we found at our local hardware store. Building the game elements was probably more difficult than building the robot itself.

Note 2: Stacked Cones do not count towards the Possession limit. (i.e. A Robot is allowed to control
the movement of a Mobile Goal with Stacked Cones)
We can lift a cone 50 inches. So if the the first cone on the stack on a movable base is 4.8 in off the ground and you gain 2.75 in per cone. Then we can do a around 16 cones off of a movable base. If my math is right. I highly doubt it will be the enough to win but its a pretty good start.
Extremely well. We can use the back bar on our intake to push down on the bottom of the cone and drive backwards simultaneously, flipping the cone right into our claw.
I know this is just a model with your cones not being identical to vex cones, but how easy is it to pick up tipped over cones that are pointed at bad angles in relation to the robot?
