Re: What defenses is your team planning to cross? [Strawpoll]

I have a feeling almost nobody, save a few rookie teams will be attempting to do this. Having to build your robot under 1 foot 4 inch or whatever isn't worth the limitations in my opinion.

That being said you could very well be a potent wedge bot that could just go for the low goal by holding in the bolders with intake wheels mounted very low to pick up boulders. Make it a sort of "Fastback design" with the rear of the robot being a wedge under 5" to lift the portcullis
