Re: The Ultimate Game-Breaker Robot: 2012 Edition
The main possibility of field damage comes from the zip tie that holds the steel cable that holds the polycarb sheet to the bridge (zip ties can be seen at 50 seconds in the field tour movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AMaqqmoLgQ&feature=BFa&list=PL23DFAFBB434CDB79&lf= results_main). Depending on where the robot puts pressure on the polycarb sheet, those zip ties might wind up breaking.
We've termed this idea as "Trolling." This comes from the idea that trolls like to hide under bridges as found in the children's story of Three Billy Goats Gruff.
