Re: For those who are skeptical about propellers - Team 2526

With two equal weight robots in a pushing contest on this regolith surface, a pound or two of thrust will make a big difference. Done properly (a good safety cage), a propeller in addition to all-wheel drive makes a lot of sense. The robot that pushes another robot into a hostile corner can decide the game.
