what do you mean by "tough"? Our bot was really fast and strong, but not the fastest or strongest by any means. However, the one thing we had going for us was our durability! Our robot almost never broke down! We were so incredibly bored on thursday, that we started turning our backup robot into a cart to trasport our robot up the ramps...I mean, who else can say they have a cart that can shift on the fly? Actually, we never finished the cart, because we eventually got bored with the project. Seriously, our only repair was to switch out our wheels a couple times. After a couple regionals, there was too much wear and tear to be ignored, and two of the hubs cracked at west michigan. However, we were prepared and switching out the wheels only took about 5-10 minutes! Compared to last year, where we were making repairs %100 of the time, this year was awesome!
