Code:

|                       |
|                       |
Wheel     Wheel     Wheel

            Forward -->

Wheel     Wheel     Wheel
So that they can plant themselves into the wall with their front/back touching the wall? That way they can't easily be pushed away?
We did with our net http://www.thebluealliance.com/match/2013mosl_qm75 (You can ignore the cross the field error at the end ) We had AM pneumatic wheels so it was very hard to push us out of the way. Also team 3284 had a front blocker, but they had one of the strongest drive trains that I saw all year so they sortta count They went 3-1 blocking in this match http://www.thebluealliance.com/match/2013gal_qm75 Wow both were match 75
