Re: Speed vs. Power

In the past years we have had a robot that was fast enough yet still was abled to put up a fight with around 75% of the competition at the regionals we attended. But in all games if u have speed u dont always need power.

For instance if you are on your ramp towards the end of the match and an opponent is trying to push you off he will first have to make his way up the platform then get behind you to push you off. If you have a fast robot then you will not have to worry about people getting behind a pushing, plus at the top you will be at a beter position to push them off or even tip.

And on the ground you are having a camera track the green light so you dont have to always be standing in one spot if you figure out the physics behind moving while shooting, and use it towards your advantage so you could sort of drive around in a circle.
