Torque is a function of rotational mass and acceleration. Just as long as you don't exceed 40 Amps, it's just a matter of finding a balance between momentum and top speed. When you find that balance, you can pull just about anything with wheels on it.
Every year I see teams asking, "Why didn't we get picked." They try blaming someone else by making it sound as if it's the responsibility of other teams to pick them, when in reality it is their own fault. I feel no sympathy for any team that does this. You should not rely on other teams to pick you. That is the purpose of seeding. The reality is that you seeded 65th out of 73. This could mean several things, including:
1) Your robot wasn't built for the game and/or broke.
2) You had a bad (inexperienced) driver
3) You had a bad (inexperienced) strategist
4) You didn't sell yourself well enough

For a former person on our team , i would't think that you would really degrade us as much as this post seems here. Also I do not think you fully know what you are talking about with the qualifying stuff, we had a good driver, we sold our selves to the level that we could, our bot was built for the game and broke once at the championship because a chair fell off, and our strategist people (one of the two is me) has done strategy for 3 years now and is pretty attuned to it. Perhaps if our graduates taught their predecessors more of their skills, our bot would have done better under your theory.
