I'm writing this, because our team's traction buster does something similar to this forklift. We don't use ours recklessly whenever we just want to move a robot. We generally only use it to manipulate a robot attached to a goal. It's simply an effective way to manipulate a robot. And is it really so terrible? We haven't hurt anyone using it so far. To me it seems like it would cause less dents and burnt motors than just bashing head on with another robot.
I'm interested in hearing the opinions of other teams on these mechanims. Especially the teams that don't like them. I'm interested in hearing why.
