Re: This is a brutal game.

Just because you are allotted a 5' height limit doesn't mean you should use it.

Think of where your center of gravity will be if you have just 10 pounds 4 feet high while on the floor and going up the 30 degree ramp?

I've seen more teams this year say they have a low center of gravity, but they built their robot to be nearly 5 feet tall.

They also say they don't have much weight up high, but yet just a few pounds of weight above 3 feet is enough to end up wheels up.

Build strong and play hard, but just remember who your partner may be in the next match.
