John, on a purely non-scientific note, one needs to watch very closely to see how 25 gets that "little extra" in a pushing match. In the past two years, for part of (nearly) every pushing match they are in they are actually not moving at all. Once they are in a desired position they stand still with almost no exertion on the motors or battery at all. As to how they get that done, you'll have to ask 25, but I do know, that at the end of a match they generally have happier and cooler drive motors than most opponents not to mention more left in the battery.
