Re: What does a defense robot NEED?

Honestly, if you make custom gearboxes that deliver enough torque, you don't even need to make sure the robot you are pushing is moving in the same direction as its wheels. Easier said than done, however.

For most teams without reliable vision tracking, ramming into them should be enough.
