Re: The 4 Questions of 2443

4. can we put anything over our bot? i.e. a net or piece of sheet metal on the back to prevent teams from wedging balls onto our bot.


for the 4th question i'd say the best idea is to make sure there is no way for them to wedge balls into your robot. cover your robot up (best with a solid cover so u don't have to worry about entanglement) to make sure they can't. Personally, if you are worrying about if an opponent can wedge a ball into your robot, i'd be more worried about an opponents robot getting stuck in there because anywhere those balls can fit parts of the other robots can get into too possibly. Close up the gaps in your robots and make sure there is no part of your where the other robots can easily gain access to that you don't want them to be there or places they can block the workings of your robot.
