Re: Hight score of the season

take a look at 703, they are the kind of powerhouse pusher that i was thinking of. my understanding of this is if you hit things hard and often they break so while it is not very gracious or professional, a battering ram style robot could weaken them through metal fatigue if given enough time to do so. also, if they are already moving the tower/platform some wouldn't hitting them hard do it more and potentially cause field damage? its kind of hard to say not having actually seen this mechanism up close but from my experience with FIRST, as soon as you say something can't be done someone will go and do it just to prove you wrong.

either way though, great job, great design, you've made us think and hopefully learn, keep it up 469
