Re: Fans for defense

It is hard to get out of a pin in this game, as I said we were not yet pinned while we were being pushed in open field. This is when it is critical to maneuver yourself away before getting pinned between two robots or a robot and a wall. The trick is to recognize exactly when you are getting pushed and to start turning out of it by turning your left side fwds and your right side backwards if you are getting pushed on th left side with your trailer behind you. We tried this when we returned to prove it, it is like pushing against a moving wall, and if the opponnent driver does not expect it, it will work. Sorry if I got the wrong impression, and obviously this will not work if you do not have enough manuvering space.
