Re: Pushing Power?

my take on it is yeah a mechnam bot is more agile than our tank drive bot with plaction wheels but we can push them anywhere we want to... if they can't get to a ball because we're pushing them all over the floor... how can they score? also, eric, most of your strategies require pushing... block them out of the tunnel... pushing, hit them as they shoot, pushing, any bump strategy you can name... most likely pushing... pushing isn't key, but i wouldn't dismiss it as quickly as some seem to have... we shall see in week one regionals i guess when we see the first mechnam v. traction/plaction wheel matchups
