I don't think that this is ever a good strategy......
341, 67, and 1717 did not make it to Einstein last year, ergo shooting 5+ balls in hybrid, utility arms, and unique end game strategies are a bad choice.
If this is how we think, there would be no new ideas ever.
Out team personally is using mechanums this year because we believe that being able to maneuver around the defense is more effective than withstanding the hits or pushing bots. I don't think that a bump less than .5" tall will be any sort of noticeable problem for the mechanums. I might be wrong, but I wouldn't be too worried about it.
Also, nice job, Eric, on those treads they are sweet. (and dreadfully heavy)
