1. First of all is that guys if we made a robot which could hold one ball and still move one around would that be cool? what i mean is like say were a blue bot and we grab and capture a red ball on top of our bot then we keeping moving and push a blue one would that be against the rules because from what i saw it isn't so if you know could you please tell me! SO BASICALLY- is there a rule or how many track balls your robot can hold or move at once?

2.is there any rule for how many arms a robot can have?

3.Is there a rule for how many balls you can move at once?

4.What kind of wheels or wheel drive will give top speed and control? and what kind of control is best to use with it?

I post pics up latter by guys!

1. Read the game rules, it's outlined pretty well.

2. Not that I know of. Just size & weight limitations.

3. Read the game rules.

4. Depends, really. Roughtop tread is good for traction, but you also need to keep in mind gear ratios. 8:1 through 4:1 is ideal for Overdrive. You don't need a lot of pushing power. so something relatively smooth with rounded corners will work well, methinks.
