Re: Vegetable bot

We thought about a robot that was just a rampbot who never left the home zone but would also have added the ability to block the opposing alliance from getting the 9 ringers at the back of your zone. A bot like this could have some interesting features due to rules differences inside and outside the home zone (for example wedges are legal inside the home zone).

If you went with no drive you could have created the first 100% autonomous robot which would have been somewhat cool in it's own right.

In the end, we decided it would be much more fun to score tubes and took that approach.
