Who says the robot will be easily pushed? If you design both robots drivetrains right then they can be pretty solidly mounted to the floor. With vision tracking teams could adjust their shot to the catchers desired posistion. One think i learnt from last year is that if it's possible then it will be done. Look at chessy poofs 30pt climb! That was insane fast and nobody thought it could be done that fast but they pursued their goal and achieved it. I personally think full court assist will be possible this year, but not common
