many teams did a test on the bins, and the bins break real easy, instead of bending... what happens when the robots hit the pile from both sides at the same time? CrAcK

last year my team had a folding metal spear-like goal grabber that went up and down on pnuematics, and when a team crashed into us on purpose, it fell down and broke their robot for the rest of the regionals....

this year will be worse, because from what i can tell, most ideas for box grabbers use a forklift/prong idea that can easy be run into other robots
