Re: 3 robots designs I hope to see this season

I'd love to see a robot that basically blocks the view of drivers. Since you can extend to 84 inches up and 14 inches out on the side of the field where you score, that is right in front of the opposing alliance's drive team right? Well I'm wondering if a team will abuse this fact and have a giant blanket to completely obstruct a drive team's view of the entire field. What a predicament that would be!

The drive team would need to rely on instructions from the Inbounders or other teams as to how to navigate their robot. This sort of robot would be a fantastic third pick for any alliance. With two solidly scoring robots, just pick a third as an annoyer. Well, more than an annoyer. It might deem teams unable to score or balance the bridge since they can see nothing.
