I actually think v2 was better ngl

I believe you are stupid

Obviously. This is VEX we’re talking about 😂

lol they make it themselves in cad

Nope, as we can see in spin up detachment is not allowed in the last ten seconds, but string shooters are.

xD

it's illegal, they'd get disqualified.

And if the other team moved it, then it wouldn’t be intentional 👀

Yeah they animate everything in blender. I'm sort of curious about the string too. I saw a few reveals last year which had tether bots, but I haven't really seen one in an actual match. People seem to think nothing will get tangled, but I'm still skeptical.

They do all their animations in blender

It is difficult to determine as the rule defines clamping as grasping on multiple surfaces to prohibit movement and this type of cage only grasps one so the rulings could be very discretionary.

The issue you will have with the cage though is the fact that the rope used to keep it attached to your robot could be deemed as an intentional entangling device

@A Person The problem with the forcing someone into the penalty is that they are intentionally laying the cage down and the string along with it in order to play defense. The refs would classify the string as part of the defense and therefore the robot is now a defensive robot. The other team that drives over it and gets entangled in turn would must likely be an offensive robot and because of vex rules offensive robots get the benefit of the doubt. The refs wouldn’t call it in favor of the defense on this because the rule states that they can’t.

its just a concept design lol

G 16 states that the robot can not clamp into the field, what he has just flipes around and locks onto itself, while just sidding on the ground around the goal... He is not gripping, it is just setting there, on the floor

The full G16 "" Don't clamp your robot to the field. Robots may not initially grasp, grapple or attach to any field elements. Strategies with mechanisms that react agents multiple sides of a feild element in an effort to latch or clamp onto said field element are prohibited. The intent of this rule is to prevent teams from both unintentionally damaging the field and/or from ancoring themselves to the field. So if you built a robot that could make a circle all the way around the center tower with a 12" gap all the way around, would that be laching or grasping onto the field element? If not then the same would go for this mecinism, it is not touching the field element, it is a wall that is resting on the ground, preventing access to the field element. If this mecinism wraped around the center tower, touching it all around, then that would deffently be classified as a violation . It also says that the mechanism has to react with many sides of the object, this would be true only if it is being pushed around, which would be done by an opponent, theyby by G 14 which says you can not force your opponent into a penalty, that would be void. It also is not anchoring for the same reason. Example is like in tower takeover, if someone pushed you into a tower, that does not mean that you are anchoring yourself to the tower... See what I mean?

M W Note G16 encompasses strategies, which an opponent cannot force. Additionally, G14 (the opponent forcing rule) has be interpreted by the Q&A every single game to not apply to an offensive bot aiming to score (why it was not illegal to push a defending bot into the inner protected zone when going to place a stack).

@Kyle Miller when you deploy the cicular wall you are not meeting the defenetion of grasping and locking. The robot piece is directly setting on the floor not touching the goal on multiple sides. Theyby by being pushed around would be an opponet acting on it. There is one tower takeover match where there is a wall bot that traps both opponets in the goal zone. But one robot gets away by folding the arm back on the robot, like that video the wall bot was pushed into the towers, which stopped it from being pushed out, but it was not classified as anchoring. For this macinism to reach with multiple sides to opposing team has to push it in multiple direction untill it hits the goal zone in multiple directions.. I thinkthe rule is more of have a claw that grabs the tower,and grasp it and holds it, not a loop around the tower. Using your logic if you drove up to the tower and have your intakes up so you bassiclyy are around three sides of the tower without touching, that then would be considered grasping and locking. I dont think that is what the rule means... I mean do you see what I am meaning? How can you hold something without accually touching it?

G5 Robots may not intentionally detach parts during the match or leave mechanisms on the field
