Re: What is T-boning?

Actually T-boning in Frc isn't exactly where the robot can't move. It's where a robot pushes another robot that is moving forward/backwards on its side and the t-boned robot's wheels spinning and the sideways force from the other robot causes the t-boned robot to lose traction and then the defending robot can push the t-boned robot sideways. If the robot being t-boned does not move, the robot trying to t-bone won't be able to move it sideways because sideways force by itself isn't enough to overcome the traction of the t-boned robot.
