Re: Propulsion that does not involve driving wheels
In '06 we were contemplating a robot with fans that would sit underneath the goal and attempt to blow the poof balls away. The poof had a bit too much mass, but in this application.... it will be interesting to see how much air movement is required to deflect an orbit ball.
Of course, once you've got the fans, you could also use them to suck air from underneath the robot to increase your traction.
Safety is a concern, of course.
