I agree. Charged Up is not the beneficial comparison here.
I was thinking about something lets say if you use dr4b to grab on to the pole I see a lot about motor coasting being an issue . Would the use of pneumatics attached to the Grabber on the pole to lock the chassis to grabber . So basically the grabber would look on to the inside of the chassis at the end of the match to prevent the robot from being able to motor coast down.
Would this work as a solution?
So here is what I am thinking please give feedback it is greatly appreciated. I am thinking of using a vex change up like intake just at the bottom powered by 1 5.5 w motors 6 motor h drive and a 1 motor cascade lift
I think h-drive might be a little too heavy especially if you have only 1 motor lifting ur bot. And a cascade lift might lead to chain skipping, so a 4 or 6 bar might be better. But i’m only a second year so i’m just guessing.
I need opinions:
Would a 4 bar, 6 bar, or DR4B be better for the overall game? I was starting to cad a DR4B but then I realized it might not be the best way to collect triballs, but it is stable for elevation. But maybe some people just think differently than me, so, thoughts?

Why do you need bar lift anyway？
I have a question. can we move up the net?
in the asemble manual, i didn´t saw anything to stop o grap the net.
can i move the net using the robot?
(sorry by my grammar )
I will only use the lift for elevation, and a normal intake and shooter not connected to it.
would it be better to have a 6 5.5 motor drive or a 4 11 motor drive?
SG5 covers this topic. It is useful to do a search in the manual or to look at the summary list of rules at the front of the manual to get to topics you are questioning.
Welcome to the forum.
“Better” is too broad a term. 6x5.5 = 33 watts, which is obviously less power than 44 watts. However, the 5.5 watt motors are lighter and more compact, which could be useful.
4m 11w
6 5.5 watt would only work with an ultralight robot, and even then you would struggle
But 6m 11w would be much better to achive optimal speed and torque.
Try and see!
A 6m 5.5 watt drivetrain would have the same power as a 3m 11w drivetrain, which just isn’t powerful enough for a competitive vex robot. 4m 11 watt minimum, preferably 6m 11w.
can we drive over the long barrier I really don’t know
You can drive over the long barrier during driver control or skills provided your robot can physically drive over it.
what is a DR4B i know what a four bar is
and also what do we think is the best to lift the robot the highest
it is known as the double reverse 4 bar, you can look it up on youtube to see what is looks like and how it works
do you think that the 5.5w motors would even be useful in this compitition?
The manual says that if you have a “Storage” or like curved plow that can hold the triballs that is considered posession but I think intentionally pushing several at once would break the rule (or at least judges might think so)
