are we talking about dead stop pushing or full speed ramming? because i can push robots around when at full speed 100% traction.

The problem: The Feild + KOP wheels... what was the best solution? it dosent matter about offensive or devensive. what matters is out of all the different combonations teams came up with, which concept was the most effective? the fan? the 100+ wheels? the programming? 4 wheel tank 1 CIM? 2 CIM? Wide base ?narrow base? etc...
i look at my team with 4 wheel tank 2 ONE CIM each side with KOP gear boxs at 119.8lbs and no traction programming i say this was an avg drive train. not a winning one.
you may be right when you look at playing on carpet, but 2009 was a little different.
