It may be possible to turn the goal if your robot could circle around it by grabbing with a side of the robot... then again, your robout would likely have trouble pulling it from the side. If you perhaps made your wheels able to turn...? Well, that would be a huge pain to try and engineer. I'm glad we didn't go THAT route.

I think it's going to be a bigger challenge than most people reallize. Similar (harder) than pulling the stretcher last year... we tried it. it was REALLY hard to do with a 130 pound robot on it. Actually, it just turned real slow, and getting it up the ramp was near impossible.

All I have to say it it's going to be an interesting year.
