Re: How does the trailer affect your driving???

ma favorite way to turn is to put the robot in full speed reverse, jacknife the trailer, and watch it slingshot the robot around. once the bot gets to the halfway point of the turn, throw it into full forward (bad for the cims i know... ) but, EXTREMELY effective for turning really fast, and getting away...

at the scrimmage, most shooters were having troubble getting more than a coupple balls in another trailer in a row.

however, our team has a dumping robot, and our reckord was getting 6 balls into another trailer at once ***(beu, er failed at repeating it...)

on average, we got 3 or 4 balls in each time we dumped...
