thanks for your input. All that I can say is that we will need to play the matches to suit our allies. Our bot is perfectly capable of doing what I said, including pushing down the bridge. the power and traction issues are taken care of because we actually lift the goal up. what happens is that we are pulled onto our two rear wheels (we have a 6 wheel assembly) which then gives all the weight of the bot AND the goal on those two powered wheels. In this way, we can turn on a dime, have great traction, and have good speed. when we pick up the other goal, we now have all six wheels on the ground, with one goal held up on either side of the bot, giving us even more traction. then, because of the large weight, we can balance the bridge very quickly. we don't need to worry about any of the problems of moving goals, because none of the castors touch the floor. it is all done on our own wheels.
The big problem is getting our allies accross, and this we can play around with once we start seeing what other bots are capable of. Seeya there!
