Re: Defensive Strategies
Maybe I'm just not that creative, but I don't see how it is possible to extend any kind of cap over the trailer, even half way.
A. You can't extend outside your footprint.
B. The Trailer can't be tipped.
C. The Trailer has to be attached on the outside (convex or flat) of your robot, with a 10" tongue, in a way that the tongue will not touch your bumber while driving...
I suppose that a very short robot might be able to extend backwards to some degree, but a 10" tongue + half the length of the trailer actually seems to be *impossible* to me.
Am I missing something really key here?
