Re: FRC T-bone-ing and Hexagonal drive

T-Boning is when one robot "crashes" into the side of another robot. It's one of the most popular and easy ways to play defense because when you ram into the side of another robot and they try to drive forward, they're going to go in circles because the side of their robot that you are driving against can't move. This is furthermore effective because it technically does not count as pinning a robot. The advantage of a hexagonal drive train is that you cannot T-bone them because they don't really have a flat side to push against.
