Sorry Shaun, but no hydraulics are allowed in this contest... Pneumatics only, at the above mentioned specs.
But I'll admit, a couple of years back I saw a 12HP hydraulic driven ZTR lawnmower for sale and was
sorely tempted to buy it. I could just imagine hacking it into my own personal Transformer style "FIRST Robot of Doom" for an outdoor "yard version" of a standard FIRST contest bot...
Gee... Can you imagine playing Stack Attack in a gravel pit "arena", using people riding in the (secured) cages of hacked Bobcat forklifts, trying to collect and stack large wooden crates over a large center hillock?
