Re: Maneuverability

Maneuverability will be key in this year's game. Unlike last year, there's no bumps to get over or tunnels. Nevertheless, you are still going to want a robot that get around the field efficiently, especially since you have to get the tubes from the other side of the field and bring it back. THat being said, you will want peed, but not so fast that you cannot control the robot or being too light and easily tipped over. If you are going to go with more speed, lower your center of gravity and distribute the weight evenly. As for handling, make sure your robot can turn efficiently and easily, and make sure your drivers know what to do in all types of situations and how to get out of them. good luck!
