Hi guys, What do you think the meta will be for the 2021-2022 game, Tipping Point?

I would definitely concur with this, as there is likely going to be a lot of pushing this year. You will want a torque drive to counter defense and be able to push others around so to speak. ▶ Sidenote

600 w/ a 3:7 is 257rpm, what most teams are choosing vs the other 200 with a 5:3

Pneumatics viable with the new rule?

Pneumatics are basically free from a theoretical standpoint, should be interesting to see what teams do with em given how limited the number of usages is

Hi, I am just wondering what dr4b means? I have seen a lot of people use the term and i am just curious as to what it means. Thanks!

Its a common and very good type of lift, double reverse 4 bar. see this document about them: [image] DR4B Tutorial by 333A Technical Discussion It is that time of the season when beginner teams are searching for resources to assist them with building their first DR4B lift,…

Yeah, I agree that torque is definitely the way to go. I would also like to point out how many robots had trouble even getting on the bridge in VEX IQ Crossover, much less balancing it, due to not enough torque and precision with fine adjustments, both results of too speedy of a drivetrain.

[image] FRC973: trouble even getting on the bridge in VEX IQ Crossover, When I was reff’ing crossover, there were teams that wouldn’t let their teamwork partners get onto the bridge. I guess they were thinking they would “win” the teamwork challenge that way?!?!

Eh, maybe they wanted to show off. But I think that a balanced bridge is more impressive than a couple more scored hexballs…

Read the rules again, SG3 and SG10 combine to prevent this.
