Thanks for all the input...

Now I'm thinking maybe we should put the bat holder off to the left or right side of the bot and then the bot can drive forward (with a turn radius) rather than strafing... Strafing would look neater since the humans contestants are all 'strafing' as well. We could even replace the mecs with regular wheels and just tank drive in a circle.

If we proceed with this, I'll probably try to start on the infield dirt between 1st and 2nd and avoid the grass or something similar. The problem with that is this is all happening while the home team is 'warming up' in the field, so using the dirt would disrupt that... but maybe for a one time shot they'd give up the real estate.
