Re: Defensive and passing team

95 is making a robot capable of the 'defensive assist' role. See build thread here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=124625

Two-sided ground pickup/ejection to quickly pick up and pass the ball.

Large catching mechanism to accept a ball from an inbounder without driving away from a robot we're defending.

2spd automatic 6wd with colson wheels + roughtop tread-covered brakes mean that we're fast and hard to push, and most importantly we're not stressing our drive-train to resist being pushed.

We would like to show off our defensive abilities again this year by shutting down a power-house scorer, it is definitely the best way to get noticed. I have a feeling Damiaen's example is him remembering us last year during Hartford CT qualifiers...
