Re: Other strategies for Logo Motion
Fans.

We experimented with BB775-powered RC plane props and were able to blow tubes about 20 feet in our shop. However, we didn't have the weight or space to actually put it on the competition bot, and it didn't really fit our desired style of play (offensive). But the idea of powerful fans blowing tubes across the field sure would have made for an interesting defensive bot (maybe couple fans with something like the 3553 "wall bot").
