I’ve started brainstorming for this years game over under and I wanted to know if you guys had any ideas on it.

There really isn’t any benefit to double zoning, because in order to score, you need a robot to get tribals from the match loading area, which is on the other side of the field. That’s why the Purdue SIGBots and every over under reveal so-far have catapults in them, so that they can quickly and effi…

[image] TronIc_lc: 36 x 36 inch expansion limit I’m not sure if you understand how the expansion limit works. Unlike the 18x18x18 starting limit, the 36" image is a circle. Basically the farthest 2 points can not be farther away than 36". This is the same thing as during tipping point. 36-Inc…

[image] EcstaticPilot: the 36" image is a circle. Actually, no. Your next sentence is correct - 36" max from one point of the robot to another.

How is that different from a 36” circle? If no part of the robot can be more than 36” from another part, that means it has to fit in a 36” circle.

What if we use a (or two) double-acting pneumatic-piston for endgame. Recently I visited a first robotics team, and they showed me their robot from last year. For their endgame, they had to hang on monkey bars. They used pneumatic pistons to lift their robot up. I don’t know if the vex-legal pneumat…

Our team was thinking about making a ratchet like mechanism to climb the pole, with flexwheels

My team is just planning to hang on the horizontal bar and use a mounting system instead of a ratchet so we can use our hang mech to block people’s match load shots.

Not sure if you’re familiar with ratchets, but a ratchet will likely be necessary to hold your robot in the air. Your “mounting system” which I presume is a 4bar/6bar/scissor lift will need a ratchet. That way, when the VEXnet sets motors to coast, it won’t result in the robot falling.

Any overunder robot/strategy ideas
