@Wesley13406D, just curious, how are you going to score high stake if all your motors are in your drivetrain?

Wait, is it even possible to score high stake without hanging? Wouldn’t you exceed the height limit?

@Wesley13406D has a… history with polls.

If it is legit, he might be using a PTO

:rofl: Yeahhh you could say that… But yeah, our early season bot MAY have 2 separate ptos (Don’t tell my mentor) and an 88 watt 480 RPM drive

Wesley is a VEX troll, he just makes that to confuse ppl. That would be very hard to do with these rules, maybe 13406D has some strategy I haven’t thought of.

A better question is, how are you going to score the high stake if you aren’t climbing

You should add swerve as a drivetrain option. That’s what I’m planning on doing and I think it’s very viable for this game not to mention cool (and if you’re gonna add kiwi might as well add swerve too).

Notgoing for the high stake. :smirk:

Then why’d you say that you were in the poll :man_facepalming:

But the only way to score the high stake is to hang… and you answered no hang in the poll.

I’m curious what skills strategies/paths y’all are planning.

Well… your vote lied

I’m wondering about the practicality of doing something like this:
6-motor 66w drivetrain, an 11w arm, either a 5.5w claw or something like a two-wheel intake to hold a ring, and then have a 5.5w mechanism on the base of the bot (like a wheel that I can run up next to a goal and fire it) that can ‘kick’ the donuts off the goal, and probably just a pneumatic low-tier hang.
I’m not quite sure how practical it’d be in actual matches, though. What would you guys think?
