We have a multi-function device on the front of our robot. It engages goals and allows us to pull or push them. We also can lift them up to lock the goal in place and transfer weight.

Why does a description of it belong in this thread? Because we can also get under other robots with it and push them around. We've done it to Kingman when they were carrying goals, though admittedly it was during a practice round. No harm done to Kingman either, we asked.

It also reduces the need for a bumper. With that pointy thing out front nobody wants to hit us.
