Re: Methods Of Transferring Robot Onto Field?

I always cringe when I see teams pushing their powered-down robot across the field to get it to the edge before lifting, or to get it into position after lifting.

Speed controllers do not take to such abuse all that kindly, and while it's unavoidable to some degree (like in pushing matches on the field), where it is avoidable it should be avoided.
