Re: Hanging only strategy?
Honestly, as there are well over 40 robots at every competition, I would be wary to pick one that can only perform one function.. You guys should really be troubleshooting this, if it becomes apparent that your treads won't work, maybe insert a simple 4wd drivetrain.

if your treads are falling off, put in tensioners and/or buckles to keep it in.. motors overheating? put in huge 4 in muffin fans.. i can't really help with electronics, but there's always a way to fix a bot..

example- 2000, our rookie season- our ladder was busted.. a veteran team (272) came up to us and asked why we were sitting around. They whipped us in shape and got us back up, we eventually made the semifinals. Good luck in whatever you do-
