We had our regional today and the MINIBOT IS KEY. Ours worked pretty well, it has 2 big wheels with motors on the bottom, a magnet in the middle (very powerful), another smaller set of wheels on top, abd some cheesholed metal to support it. And it has a switch to start it on contact and another to stop it. And a good deployment system is crucial.

Ah, I see.
I liked Cheesy Poof's minibot, it was compact, simple, but very fast and efficient.

This was a really good idea... The group from our team overcomplicated this whole process so it wasn't until we were at competition that we actually came up with a design. Hope this served you well!

did you fail biology?

nice idea, but it is too bad that you can't use that battery...

Pretty sure everybody competing in FRC would think legos are cool :)
I agree that LEGOs are very cool. (:
And I'm suprised a lot of people cannot spell "allowed" correctly, oh well. :D We're science people, not English.
But this idea is pretty good, simple, but it works pretty well.
How did your team end up making the minibot, though? Like did they go with your idea for the minibot's design, or was there something else that happened and descided not to go with this one idea?

@kaleishigaki
due to the design inflexibility of the tetrix parts, we are trying some other methods

Wow, this is a good idea but I dont think that the pole in the game will be magnetic.

It will be magnetic, it's galvanized steel EMT (electrical conduit).

hey im a member of 3511 are you aloud to use that motor and battery? cause last time i was informed (which may have been misinformation) we had to use the motors and battery they gave us..........

@scubasteve339 You are right, we can't use anything but the listed Tetrix parts :-(.
This minibot was just a proof-of concept, not meant to actually use in competition.
