I remember one match where we played one of them. We had wings that deployed in order to push a large number of bins. When we played that match we ran our autonomous in low gear. It made it very slow, which was exactly how to beat it. When we turned the corner to head toward the ramp, all of the boxes were still in front of us. We just slowly bulldozed them over to the other side.

With all that being said, it was still a pretty cool idea and was usually very effective.
