The moat was deceptively challenging for us. Our new prototype robot will have the wheels closer. Hopefully, our new spacing will be perfect and we can use that spacing for building the next two robots (practice and competition).

Here's our video of this.

That is hilariously and horrifyingly terrible. Can't wait to see how our prototype is handling the moat when I get back to houston. Also, I'm told using steel for the 1.5x2.5 bars makes things even harder. So you might want to try that.
