@@lukedoesroboticsyeah, but i feel like most teams could flip back goals at this point, but getting that third goal in auton but sacrificing rings is smart
I was wondering the same thing. I think it just how the mechanism works. The intake freezes every time a ring is loaded into the high stakes mech. The hook moves a ring into the slot, and the lift moves up over the hook of the intake which isn’t moving. I think it could be adapted to possibly carry two, as the lift could move up slightly aligning another slot. 18522R must have designed for one as it’s fast to load and already pretty efficient. Maybe they tested a two ring design and it didn’t work. I do see the benefit of having two rings, especially for controlling top rings.
While that is true, the complexity it would add to the robot just isn't worth it. Do the math. If you're red and the wall stake has a blue top ring, and you put one red ring on, that's a 5 point difference in points. However, if you put 2 rings on, that's a 6 point difference in points. So while that second ring of your color is good, the first ring on the wall stakes (aka stealing the top ring from them) is where all the points are
@@Joseph973 what complexity? Its simply adding another slot for the ring plus a little code. Controlling one or two rings would help guarantee the top ring.
@@AndersManix Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems a little more then trivial to add another spot for a second ring. The claw uses friction to hold the ring in place, so to me it doesn't seem that easy to add the spot for a second ring. I do agree that if you figured that out though, it'd be pretty easy from there. To me, it also doesn't seem that worth it just for 1 point sometimes, but I could be wrong
@@AndersManix building it to hold 2 rings would be much better. I might incorporate that design onto my robot that’s going to win worlds guaranteed this year
Please add:)

Yeeeeaaaaahhhhhh

18522R can’t top that goal with their motorized lift cuz it would be a SG2 violation
@@6842K wait fr?💀i might not have cooked then
I missed it too
they stil have the axle tipper at the front of their bot tho (in the reveal)
@@lukedoesrobotics yeah cus theyre arm is too long it goes over size limit if its flat
@@cstial Well then they shouldn't have passed inspection, any rotating part that goes out of size once is a major violation?

This Ezra kid is really annoying

wall stakes are op
but you cant forget about the 3rd goal, i explain in the video that if ur focusing wall stakes, think abt just flipping the extra goal
@@lukedoesroboticsyeah, but i feel like most teams could flip back goals at this point, but getting that third goal in auton but sacrificing rings is smart
wait Luke I have one question. Why can't 18522R make their wall stake mech be able to store 2 rings? Because that would make it faster
