If you do that the other robot will loose some of it's normal force and distribute it to you. In a pushing match so should be more firmly on the floor (it works wonders for traction but I'm not 100% sure for flipping). It's harder for them to come under you so you're more likely to get the traction benefit and there being less chance for a flip. (force of friction, "in the ideal" is commanded by the normal force). Still, if you got the room it's worth a try I think. think
Good luck! Expecialy 59. You guys allied with us back in the twice I think. But that was back in the day, 00, 01 ish.

I came up with this idea yesterday, and was convinced it would stop our flipping problems...It probably would of been a 2-3 hour job, which we didnt have enough time for...they may work on it this morning, I don't know since ill be taking a practice AP Test
