Re: Holonomic/Omni vs Defense

What if an omni-wheel equipped robot has a pneumatically activated platform that deploys to lift the wheels slightly off the ground.

Get in position, drop your platform, and you've got, say, two square feet of high-friction contact area.

Do your shooting, pick it up and go... while other robots drain their battery trying to move you.

Of course we're not using this strategy... but I'm sure with over 1,000 robots, that someone, somewhere is.
