Besides that the robot is great! We'd never go with a scissor lift as they have to be made perfectly, but it looks like you guys knocked it out of the ball park.
Thats very true, mechanism are not the best for traction. We did want a robot that could move around quick and get balls fast, so it depends what the other "defender" robots have for a drive train.

Thanks so much! This is our teams second year and our first time doing a scissor lift. Good luck to you all!
