In my opinion, the abillity to manipulate the goals effectively is going to set the 'ever so popular' goal manipulation robots apart. I believe when designing this game, the designers new goal manipulation was going to be popular (the miscellaneous robot polls seem to agree). That's probably why they made the goals so heavy. To answer you're question, some other teams are probably having problems too. I heard somewhere that it only takes about 30lbs of force to push a goal, but turning is probably a different story. It depends on how you're trying to turn. Pivoting may put a greater strain on the system than a gradual turning radius. Maybe try a different method of handling. I Hope that I was of help.
