Re: This is a brutal game.
YES, YES, YES -
I won't go into rationalizing one way or the other because that is not what you asked in the thread, but I will advise ALL teams yet to play in a match, BRING the maximum allowed amount of material to repair your machines.

Even with as robust of a design that you think you may have, with what I've seen, many robots will need massive repairs (drive trains in particular).
The forces being applied when being hit on the side of your wheels WILL bend many of the axles, frames, mounting brackets, wheels, ect.

This game is BRUTAL and its NOT just from impact loads, I fret more about the damage being incurred from the continual pushing from the side of the machines.
