Having seen the new FTC robot demonstrated, I don't see the PVC rack or rooftop material giving them a real headache. Big, Beefy 12 VDC motors should be able to drive just fine. They had an insane terrain last April in the Atlanta test event. I saw many robots drive up and down some serious inclines. The flip up ramp does mean that teams will really need to consider CG or be religated to floor only play.
