Dream bigger or be pummeled by falling cubes of your opponents
My robot hits the ceiling in our room easily
Edit: good for showing off in alliance selection
@sedonawa u got pics
most people call such robots tetherbots, as they need to be connected with a tether.
I have a pushbot, BUT I am working on improving this week.
Okay y know what Iāve had this idea for some time and I doubt that I will have the time but I wanna see it happen. A robot with a u-shaped mecanum drive that allows the two sides to pull away from each other. That robot wraps around a traybot (holding it in place). Then, with a tilting mechanism and a claw, u move the claw forward and grab all the cubes in the traybots tray. Pull back and score in the zone.
Metadefining
4 motor chassis
1 motor tilter
2 motor claw
wouldnāt that count as trapping for 5+ seconds?
Itās not against a wall. Either way they could probs still move if ur not moving while grabbing.
I thought you couldnāt take any cubes out of a robot, because once a cube is in a robot it becomes āa part of the robotā. This is what the head ref at one of my competitions said. So that would be an illegal maneuver
I have not heard that before, unless Iām wrong (more probable) the ref may have been mistaken and was told that for the āno performing illegal actions with cubesā rule.
I donāt think it has to be up against the wall. If no avenue of escape is allowed then it is considered trapping.
She mentioned the āno performing illegal actions with a cube ruleā too. But then when a clawbot tried to grab a cube out of a tray bot, she warned them not to repeat this because it was illegal because once a cube is possessed by a robot, it becomes a āpart of the robotā. But I am not sure where that is in the game rules.
Gotta race against the clock XD. Either way this is highly impractical and just theoretical.
That sounds like itās mainly for entanglement. Taking someoneās cubes isnāt necessarily āattachingā onto the robot. Additionally, consider the pushbots ramming traybots to make their cubes spill out. Possession doesnāt grant immunity to the cubes.
I donāt think your allowed to grab robots thoughā¦
You are correct. You can not grab another robot. Or a cube that is possessed by another robot. Simply put you cannot possess a cube already possessed by another robot. Theoretically, you could ātakeā someoneās cubes IF you somehow take it without grabbing it.
I believe what @64540A was suggesting was engulfing the traybot to essentially trap it as the bot āextractsā the cubes
