Stop me if you’ve seen this before… Introducing the 2021-2022 VEX Robotics Competition Game, Tipping Point! [TippingPoint-Transparent] [VEX Robotics Competition Tipping Point : 2021 - 2022 Game] For more information, check out the downloads below: Game Manual - https://link.vex.com…

Here is a video of a nbn robot with an x-drive climbing a ramp. It takes a bit, and the angle is smaller than the tipping point ones are, but it works. [Team 134 1st practice match Nothing but Net season]

That rap was also no slip instead of plexi. Much easier to climb.

But if anything, an x-drive would be better than a standard tank drive, because Omnis have more traction than normal wheels (Granted most teams use omnis on tank drives anyway so this is kind of moot)

If you have an extra motor to use a brake would not be a bad idea tbh.

Well, with the new manual update it looks like it’s legal until the endgame period (last 30 seconds of the match). So until then, it’s totally legal to do so. Still waiting on the response for this QNA , although with the new manual update I bet it’ll be answered soon.

If you did it before the endgame, and it’s still sitting there. You will be dq’ed if it’s match affecting. This goes with rule G3. Apply common sense. Example: If your bot was there when there were 31 seconds left, and then the clock hit 30. You’re still touching it.

Yeah, I knew that when writing my post. I was referring to doing it AND removing it before the endgame period, which might be advantageous if your opponent plans on balancing the bridge early with a mogo (like what was showcased in the 1st NZ Scrimmage).

So anyone who was thinking of jamming a mogo or ring under the platform, looks like you won’t be able to do that now if I interpret this correctly.
