Re: The ultimate game breaker bot.

1: due to rule <g28>, you get penalized for COMPLETELY crossing the center line in autonomous. this means you *could* use sensors (line reader?) to line up with the tower, latch onto it, and possibly start climbing in autonomous mode. the only real defense at that point is dead reckoning to sit in front of the tower right away and block it.

2: assuming this would be allowed, use some of that memory foam to help prevent the ball from bouncing off the back of the robot, and then let it slope.

3: i personally think this is not that great of a plan, unless it's actually meant to do that for end game purposes. as it, have some other abilities, then at the end, climb up, and get an extra couple of points in those last seconds. just don't build it with this being your whole game plan.
