I'm not saying it can't be done, in fact I'm sure it WILL be done, but it probably wont be too easy.

Matt, I said we thought of strategy, then what the robot had to do. We don't look at
how the robot preforms the tasks because that limits your creativity. And the example I gave with the small pusher robot that had to be fast, able to win a pushing battle, and able to push arround boxes was one of the strategies we came up with. A task such as that could easily be overcome with either a switching transmition, or multiple motors on the drive train. Speed * Torque = Power... the more motors you have, the more power you get. Therefore, the more power you have, the more speed AND torque you have. and the Chiapua and new 1/2" Bosch will provide
a lot of power.
