This is a point I'm torn on.
I'd rather the hitch
not be ripped off the back of the robot. We're actually going to reinforce the hitch point somewhat just because we believe the trailer will be the biggest weakness for a pin...
So what are the ideas floating around there to have a strong, rigid, but removable hitch mount (other than several bolts that will probably be included in the weight of the bot...)?
