Re: Picking up balls or not

If your robot can't pick up balls, herding them out of the way of opposing robots that can pick them up will be a good thing to do. I think we might see some drivers skilled at the broadside skid. Run the robot up to speed, aim at a group of balls to herd toward your corner, then skid the robot sideways using the broadside of the robot and trailer to herd the balls.
