2019 NorCal RI3D Vex Tower Takeover Reveal 

homie deployed the wall of china in 2.2 seconds

That thing is so close to breaking so many rules....

We got our scissor lift. Just not the way we expected

As long as your partner can score more than the other teams autonomous, it’s a guaranteed win

I expect the accordion drive to become meta

Finally the first wall bot I am excited to see how well it works in a competition

Words cannot describe how much I love this

I am impressed and scared at the same time... This *shouldn't* be legal... But I think it is. Assuming that the string means the parts are still attached.

By god, you've done it

Absolute madlad

That's the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life

I love this

Man this was the opposite of what I want. I don’t wanna ever have to face a wallbot

Great design, but the video was way to flashy. Very difficult to actually take a good look at the robot and how it worked imo.

OP

Is that even legal, lol, my god AWESOME

This bot is so genius that Vex is probably going to make a rule just because of this. Edit: You should take off two motors from the tank drive to make it legal. Maybe attach back and front wheels with chain.

Still legal after August 16th manual update :0

POG

New meta. Both teams double wall. Driver control is 1:45 of trying to control the towers that match your color.

Auto walls, roll out

The majority of the comments made too this bot is “iT’s ViOlAtInG tHeSe RuLeS” *points too said rule*

That name though 👌

Bruh. I swear to god if I ever have to face you...

Ok, then a monster truck-ish robot is on need

What will you do when an inspector says that this robot violates rule R3 (risk of Entanglement) because of the long loose sections of rope and wire?

Big Brain

is a deployed wall like that legal with out a tether?

Im dying laughing at this

This is the biggest troll possible. I approve

I was just wondering if this is still legal after the revisions, I’m too lazy to find what they changed

Is this one robot or two since you have 10 motors instead of the legal 8

*searches up what state this team is in, just to make sure you're never against them*

Wait you're allowed to use 10 motors now?

👀

Would other bots be able to cut/pull the cords connecting the bots/walls

Can you score any of the cubes?

Ladies and Gentlemen we gottem

Is that against rule ?

Is that robot use 8 motor?

how strong is that wall?

Would this even be legal because of the rope and the wire cover?

Oh the judges are going to hate you...

Bit late but thank god I compete in canada, if this gets to worlds dear god

Well we got trumps wall just not how we wanted it

Insane wall bot

How can they use 10 motors

That has10 motors I thought the limit was 8 for v5

no why, no 127c please..... im crying

Has it been to a competition Yet? And if so, what did the referees think of it?

Keep your Robots together. Robots may not intentionally detach parts during the Match or leave mechanisms on the field. The first thing I thought when I saw this is you can’t detach parts. That is illegal.

It is not legal it has 10 motors, the maximum amount of v5 motors allowed is 8

sis what

Wait. That's illegal.

It poses an unnecessary risk of entanglement, though.

Bout to commit an act of theft

troll

Don’t destroy other Robots. But, be prepared to encounter defense. Strategies aimed solely at the destruction, damage, tipping over, or Entanglement of opposing Robots are not part of the ethos of the VEX Robotics Competition and are not allowed. If the tipping, Entanglement, or damage is ruled to be intentional or egregious, the offending Team may be Disqualified from that Match. Repeated offenses could result in Disqualification from the entirety of the competition. a. VEX Robotics Competition Tower Takeover is intended to be an offensive game. Teams that partake in solely defensive or destructive strategies will not have the protections implied by (see ). However, defensive play which does not involve destructive or illegal strategies is still within the spirit of this rule. b. VEX Robotics Competition Tower Takeover is an interactive game. Some incidental tipping, Entanglement, and damage may occur as a part of normal gameplay without violation. It will be up to the Head Referee’s discretion whether the interaction was incidental or intentional. c. A Team is responsible for the actions of its Robot at all times, including the Autonomous Period. This applies both to Teams that are driving recklessly or potentially causing damage, and to Teams that drive around with a small wheel base. A Team should design its Robot such that it is not easily tipped over or damaged by minor contact. d. Game elements in possession of a Robot are an extension of that Robot. Therefore, Entanglement (e.g., grasping, hooking, attaching) with Cubes that are in the possession of an opposing Robot is a violation of this rule. Note: A Robot which has expanded horizontally in an effort to obstruct the field, or is legally covering the top of a Tower in a solely defensive manner, should expect vigorous interactions from opponent Robots. Damage that is caused by opponent Robots pushing, tipping, or Entangling with them would not be considered a violation of . Gratuitous damage or dangerous mechanisms Keep your Robots together. Robots may not intentionally detach parts during the Match or leave mechanisms on the field. Minor violations of this rule that do not affect the Match will result in a warning. Match Affecting offenses will result in a Disqualification. Teams that receive multiple warnings may also receive a Disqualification at the Head Referee’s discretion. Multiple intentional infractions may result in Disqualification for the entire competition. i read these as one robot can expand but it cant leave parts on the field

Bruh

They cancelled worlds

Is this even allowed?

As potential counter play, would you be able to just pick up the the sections and like yeet them out the field? Cause there isnt there a rule or something that doesn’t protect you from something if you play only defensively? Don’t quote me This is such a grey area omg
