Re: Pool Noodles -- How Important?

I think most teams are going to realize week 1 of competition how hard it is to push the pool noodles on the ground. For most drivetrains, you probably won't be able to just push them as the robot will just run them over. I think a robot that can move litter is going to be of value come final matches and occasionally in eliminations. Other than that, it's not really worth it points wise to move litter on the ground unless you are capping recycling bins.
