Or any of the time in some cases.

But, if I designed a drive system with enough torque because my object was to get on the ramp anyways (new cim motors) good luck pushing me.
See... I don't try to contemplate defending against robots that can push me around and score at will and a bunch of other things. Exercise in futility. Also, one of the kids did some geometry on the goal profile at different areas on the field. It gets remarkably bad remarkably quickly, really.

Also, off topic, but why is everyone so hot on the new CIMs? They're neat, and have half the revs of the smaller CIMs for less gearing, but they also have 60W less peak power. The only advantage is the increased efficiency. And the gnarly faceplate and lack of mounting holes.....
