Re: Drivetrain Only Strategies???

The big D is our strategy this year. Inflatable tires to hammer over the barrier, a ball sweeper to collect balls. A hopper to dump them over the barrier or feed them to another bot, and the ability to essentially dump balls into the bottom hoop if needed. 2 CIM's on a side for added torque. Our plan is to starve the other team of balls and keep teams from getting quickly back on the key. I think robots are going to have to be in very specific locations to shoot acurately. If you can interfere with that you have an effective defensive strategy. I also think you can be effective by running interference on your alliance side if you have a really effective shooter. Feed them balls so thay can shoot and let them stay on the key. We are talking about making our sweeper reversable so we can feel another bot directly. I think defense is going to be HUGE this year.
