Re: hurdler or herder?
my personal opinion is that the best robots out there,will be both herders and hurdlers, that are built sturdy.a ten lb ball falling from more than 6 feet in the air could potentially do some damage. it doesnt matter how well your robot can score if it gets beat up by the ball. a hurdler will be harder to build sturdy, but if you can do it, it will be a rare and valuble robot, alliance wise. a herder would be easy to make fast and stable.
