Lightbulb Additional Thoughts

Additional Thoughts

The way our team has been talking with help from our coaches is that pushing the goals isn't such an easy job. I heard that someone read on a post that the goals vary from 160-180 lbs. If your robot is 130 lbs, then that would be a considerable weight to push?

One of the problems we discussed was traction. Is traction such a big problem for you veterans that you are considering? It is certainly for our team, since we thought that moving 180 lbs on carpet was nearly impossible.

Of course nothing is impossible. Did you guys need to move those goals last year? I'm under the impression that you didn't, because the pictures of the robots look like they're so lightweight and fast, ball throwing being important.
