I coach 8 teams of middle school VRC. I have seen in the video’s teams using gloves to load the triballs. Do you have any recommendations for where and what type of gloves? Thanks!
Another robotics team from Fort Collins here. Quick question / clarification; in your video, when you use a horizontal extender and push multiple triballs into the goal, that's against the rules, correct? It's my understanding that a robot can only control / purposefully push one triball at a time? I may have read the game manual wrong; just wanted to make sure! Thanks for posting your cool video!
you are only allowed to possess 1 ball at a time, so you can push multiple, but it can not be in any concave mechanism, so yes technically what they are doing is not allowed, but you can push multiple at the same time as long as its a straight wall
After reading rule <SG7> in the official game manual, it definitely states that a bot cannot purposefully have possession / push more than one triball at a time (incidental pushing is OK and at the discretion of the ref). Just want to make sure the correct info is out there!@@Pancakezz_
@MrEnglarRobotics Check out the definition of possession in the Game-Specific Definitions of the game manual. It states "pushing/plowing Triballs is not considered Possession; however, using concave portions of a Robot to control the movement of Triballs is considered Possession" which makes straight wings legal but concave ones like these illegal.
I see one major problem, when placing a the game elements into the robot. From what I’ve seen they MUST be placed on the gray mat area inside the corner. Here I the video where this is explained: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7P-XEn9l6Gs.html&pp=ygUOdmV4IG92ZXIgdW5kZXI%3D
What are the stand-offs doing in the back of your robot where the gears of the catapult are. Are they some type of mechanism to keep the catapult in place? Overall I love your robot ❤
Not affiliated with the team, but I believe they are ratchets to take the strain off the motors. They limit the catapult to only 1 direction of rotation, so the motors do not need to hold down the cata
@@SaltNjairee they are concave... if you have a concave surface like a C controlling the tribals its considered posesion and since ur wings do \____/ instead of _______ its illegal
@@themythtorybro my dude concave in the vex sense of terms means just that it Like sorta gives the triball a hug. If it wraps around the tribal at all its concave
Yes according to the Manuel it’s illegal but there were many times at mall of America where teams possessed multiple balls within a concave surface and the refs didn’t care so idk if the rule will actually be inforced
