Re: Defense: Pushing and Blocking

How can a majority of the teams have a transmission with above-average pushing power?
I have to say being in this for over 12 years we know what it takes to have a strong robot. And yes we have a strong robot.

What teams fail to realize is if you are going to push other robots around you better have a strong base to be able to take the hits. And a robot that will not break on you. I have seen so many robots that show up and will make one match and then break so badly they are not able to do what they think they could do.

another thing is yes you might have a good pushing robot but if someone know how to stop your power what then. there are so many ways to stop a strong robot. But unless you have had a lot of time and know the past you will be a robot with a lot of power but will not be able to use it wisely
