For the record, since somebody asked about weight counterbalancing.

Since FTC for some odd reason has no weight limit, you could technically load your bot with whatever you wanted as long as it doesn't violate any other rules.

So just get a heavy block of steel and put it in some safe place on the bot, and it should be good enough for counterbalance (and I mean heavy).

Also, an idea of one of my teammates was to have some kind of linear slide system that extended out the back of your robot with a weight that would also slide out on said linear slide to counter even further.

Because since your pivot point is something like the mid-center of your robot where you're picking up your teammate, the further the weight from this pivot, the higher torque you're getting to counteract the torque from the robots weight.

Add that far distance & weight to your own robots weight, and it should provide more than enough torque to counter-act the other robots weight.
