Are the tracks that you have on your robot deployable or are they stationary and used for conquering defenses like the rock wall. Can you drive with the tracks down and the mecanum wheels up if you want to out push another robot?
Our tracks are not deployable and are just used for conquering obstacles. We can go over the drivable obstacles just fine. We have the capability later to add pneumatics to push down the tracks, but we found we could play defence just fine with mecanums. We can strafe amd rhn circles around other bots.

We made it to semifinals in Pittsburgh so I say we did pretty well. :-)
