We have a pneumatic launcher on our robot. It isnt quite as strong as their's but it works for what we need it to do. Going against two of them would be hard, but one isn't so bad. You would just have to have someone in the hanging zone counteracting their launching ability.
Awesome! Ca someone please explain what they used to toss up the big balls? I was thinking of Pneumatic pistons, but they wouldn't apply much force to launch them like that.
I'm on Team 323X, and with our new robot (which will be seen for the first time at a tournament tomorrow morning) the score would be really close with a one-on-one for any of these teams. We might be able to win. We're a sister team of 323Z and we meet together, and they for sure could beat any of these teams. Not even close.
TheHeavyGlow Haha didn't mean to come off that way, but I do have to say that 323Z's engineering is incredible. They are freaking amazing to watch in matches too. Though when our driving is going well, we actually have been able to beat them in a one-on-one in our practices.
Tao Lin I've been in the middle school division at worlds, and they are intense. Frankly, the middle schools in Singapore are better than the best teams in my area (well, most teams; 44 is quite good).
The real killer for the 7090 teams is that they can launch 2 big balls at one time, see at 02:10, they only do it once in the match, but it seems really effective.
901B was my school.I just found this video. So glad it was taped.
I would have never thought a descoring device would have been so crazy effective till this AND it's a hook to climb. A 2 in 1
I had a hard time convincing myself to use an otherwise awkward descoring device, up till this video.

Wow. This is amazing.
Now all I have to do is speed my robot up by X100 and I'll be there!
Does anyone know if the 7090 teams used one, or two pneumatic pistons to power the big ball launcher?
Awesome! Ca someone please explain what they used to toss up the big balls? I was thinking of Pneumatic pistons, but they wouldn't apply much force to launch them like that.
they probably had rubberbands to pull the tosser up along with pistons. combined, they should have enough force
Heiben hei or they pumped above 100 psi
There is a possibility they used two pneumatic pistons.
Wow, two robots high hanging. Maybe I should do that for my next robot in the next competition.
WOW, the game varied on that red large ball falling off the robot! by 3-2 pts
Oh my God...
...Well we're screwed haha
How do the "ball launchers" work? Is it pneumatics or some motor function?
Most likely pneumatic just hitting the ball from bellow. In the end gg
They have pneumatic pistons powering a metal bar, you can tell because they hang with it too.
I checked the locations of two of the teams, and they were from china(7090b) and Hawaii (359a). Pacific championship?
ASIJ (American School in Japan)
Does anyone know where these matches took place?
China, I think

Arrogance at its finest here.

No I gotchya haha I was just giving you a hard time. I've competed against both your teams, so I know that your claim is founded
TheHeavyGlow Haha okay
Though it is interesting that 323Z was eliminated by the 8th ranking alliance...
First of all: Can anyone say performance enhancing drugs?!?! I call shenanigans! Their all dopers.
Second: where can I get ahold of some of that?
I believe the 7090 teams were found using modified motors at worlds.
I want one!
Hmm... Very nice. I think we can beat them.
I'd like to see that.
Haha good luck Jesse!
You do realize that those three out of four robots are from MIDDLE SCHOOLS!
They are the best middle school teams in the world, though :)

Well, they look pretty tough. We'd have a big problem going up against even one of them.
Well depends, the concept of what they are doing is not to complex, coming up with a similiar idea shouldn't be to hard.
The real killer for the 7090 teams is that they can launch 2 big balls at one time, see at 02:10, they only do it once in the match, but it seems really effective.
For our robot, it would be quite hard as we have a scissor lift with side intakes and a claw.
Why don't they do that 2 ball trick in autonomous?
Probably because they can't launch 2 big balls as far, so from the hanging zone, the balls wouldn't get all the way to the goal zone.
