Two strong drive trains going at it on a low friction surface is quite intense!
We are using 6 small kit skyway (wheelchair) wheels with the skin removed. Those will "shed" if say you are pinned on the top of the ramp and you try to push your pinner and their "strategically downed" partner back down their ramp. Well, it "almost" worked, about an inch and one downed supporting bot away from getting 2 of the 3 bots off the ramp an winning the match. Congrats to 291, 177, & 306 for winning the regional and playing good team D.
