Re: [FUN] How can a Defensive Robot Make it to Einstein?

It will take an estimated 40 lbs of robot to get up to that speed using the minimum parts required, including battery and bumper. The robot will need a pretty high speed in order to make the jump up.

The force of impact would probably damage the tower. The force of a miss could damage the field or a field steward.

The momentum of the object in an abnormal trajectory would cause major safety concerns.

Fun animation, not so plausible of a strategy
