WPI's robot configures down to just under 19lbs (majority of that is the 13lb battery) in under 30secs..

If we could get to a point where it would be strategically beneficial to become a stretcher bot, we could do so and virtually ANYONE could pull us..

manuevering that stretcher + 130lbs is definitely not as easy as stretcher + ~20lbs without a doubt.. and not that many teams that i've seen could reliably do it (analyzing their goal towing ability and such..)

It's just an idea.. it was pretty easy to make and a feature we'd like to see used at least once it the game

But knowing that each match we've been essential for playing is not a bad thing either
