I can't stress enough to teams that are not driving yet to get something out there (almost anything at this point) to see if your design for traction and power is going to work. Don't let the goal fool you either. To move it forward and back is pretty easy, we don't even spin a wheel. To drive around with one or two connected to your robot, let's put it this way, your hot rod ferrari robot looks like its caught in a Michigan Snowstorm sliding and spinning and not going where you think. I am SURE there are teams out there that will be able to 'handle' the goals quite well. For the rest of us that goal weighs more than your robot keep that in mind and good luck
