We talked about doing that. We have position based PID implemented on our drive train so it is actually more difficult than people think to push us. Basically, if you push against our robot then it pushes back to stay in that location.

We might yet add something to prop us in the corner but it doesn't seem to matter much from what we saw in Palmetto. A team would have to devote 2/3 of their alliance to keep us out of both corners, which kinda swings the match in our favor anyway...

Not to mention that we can always load the ball over the top of them. We are a fairly tall bot.

We nearly won Palmetto with this... we are hoping to win the NC regional.
