And if the uber-hybrid bots don't like being blocked, they are welcome to use their programming expertise to add some collision avoidance code and move around the obstacle. Stop whining and use it as an opportunity to "wow" people even more with your adept engineering skillz.

Wow, 48,000 lines, I have to get to work! We only do 6 with no traffic!
And for the second part... we'll see what happens at boilermaker. There is rudimentary recovery code in the robot as of now (you can tell in the multiple times our robot weaved through traffic), but I'm hoping that our drivetrain people will be ok with us adding the autoshifting code in to push whatever is in the way out of the way.
If you all didn't read the edit on my post about 299lbf pushing, I do not know exactly how much pushing force we can put to the floor. All that is is the maximum 5-second-sustainable force at the tire.
Also, I know that 1114 and us (1024) have fast autonomous modes, but who else does?
