Re: Defensive robots

Our robot plans to have a set of arms at max height that can "lean over" an opposing robot to increase the effective blocking angle for short shooters. Hopefully this will make us more effective at defense than a purely inside-the-frame-perimeter defender.

Could we also get some advice driving defensively with mecanum wheels? We probably won't win any pushing matches, but we're hoping maneuverability will let us stay between a shooter and the high goal if they're moving around.
