Our robot should counter your type of robot, think of it as a defense-defense (meta defense!).
Im curious, can you guys be pushed around by a robot with treads on supershifters?
EDIT: I also love the idea of your robot. Totally within the spirit of the game, I hope you win Philly, and some awards for innovation too.

With our wings down, we have 8 wheels perpendicular to an on-coming robot. I don't doubt there are plenty of robots that can push us around, but you are missing the point if you think the goal of the robot is to have pure traction. With the wings up and being pushed inline, someone with supershifters should not have much of a problem with us. We are running 4 toughboxes with the optional reduction on direct driven 8" roughtop plaction wheels. The outrigger wheels are wedgetop 8" plactions.
While pushing most common robots head to head with the wings up, we should be fine.
We are simply a nuisance
, and we have yet to have any robot to robot contact so I really cannot judge effectiveness of the design yet.
