I don’t need to say it. What are we thinking?

How Important are Rings?

There’s been a noticeable lack of discussion around what sort of strategies will be the most competitive this year, namely how much will strategies focus on rings versus goals, so I’m starting this topic to change that. First lets take a look at the actual point values for each item: goals: 20 points for being in home zone. 40 points for being balanced on the platform. 200 points available using just goals, if you somehow balance 5 on the platform. rings: 1 point in the base of a goal 3 …

you mean an iteration on past game mobile goal lifts - that is just one element. add to that being able to lift heavy things high up , precision positioning …

Guess my simple point - do a game analysis, prioritize how you might score to develop a game strategy, and for each task, research what has been done across many VRC. games, and determine candidate approaches, then look up what mechanical mechanisms or linkages to achieve your design goals… Good engineering.

So, I strike my early response and believe that the robot that will be a robot that is well designed and executed to meet the challenges of this game and the competitive field.

thank you for listening to this Ted talk
