It went ok last year when we use a cable to hook the robots up with the truck. Pushing seems to be a better idea, we just need a straight surface for the robot to push at.

Remember an idea for a traction measurement device? We can easily use something similar, by using a piece of wood with right angle support behind it, so the robot will always push against the wood against a straight surface, and the back of the wood will attach to the car some how.
