Re: Never Do This, and Other Good Ideas Gone Bad

Although the games lately haven't brought out shopping cart wheels on the front of a robot, don't use them. They are especially bad when the game has an uneven playing surface. The robot goes where the wheels tell it to go so you can't climb a ramp with shopping cart wheels.
Don't ever believe someone who says "of course that's legal, we have been using them for years." That is why at least one team will be down hearted when I have them remove their Globe motors this year.
