Re: Tribot swerve

Well, based on the video, the tribot on swerve allows some very advanced maneuvering that could easily get around defense any day. However, defense wise I feel that a tribot would be a push over. Also, it does minimize the amount of space for a shooter, intake, etc. I could see this totally being awesome for a team like 1717 in the 2012 game, Rebound Rumble. With a 3 sided intake and an on top, rotatable shooter I think it would have been even better then it already was (which in my opinion is saying something). This year with a large game piece I could see it being slightly impractical, but in other seasons with smaller game pieces it could work. Teams would also need to focus on weight because an unbalanced weight on a tribot would definitely doom it when hit right. However, super cool video and thanks for sharing!
