Yeah, ball control is our primary strategy.
We do not plan on even touching the platform. So, we designed our drive based on last year's design. It is 3' wide, as you suspected.
We have a plow (similar to last year) for herding. It's a set of wings that extends around 5' wide.
We also have 2 goal hooks for grabbing a goal. You can see the supports on the front of our bot in a few pics.
Finally the arm. It is used for capping. Right now, we're designing it to work just with the mobiles. Once it's complete, if we have the time, we plan to try and expand it to cap the large goals.
As of now it drives like a champ.
