I only remember 3 teams that lifted on the goals to gain traction: 343, 179, and us

We did not lift up on the goals and we pulled everybody even team 180.

Tracks are the way to go. We flip over heat wave and we flip team 59.

team 59 had big rubber wheels. and heat wave lift them self off the floor to get more traction.

if you pull from the bottom of your robot you will have enough traction to pull anything.


Why they flip over is because they had good traction so someting had to go and most of the time it was there robot.

Our strongest match was pulling heat wave two goals and there partner into our zone.

Power will win

I was happy to see team 180 win. I could not believe it took til the second round for them to get picked.

Power is what is going to win.
