Re: The spread of pinching rollers this year

I don't know 1718's weight distribution but RUSH's looked like it was more centered on the middle wheel (I could be wrong this is just based on my memory of 27's robot) This would cause you to rock forward or backward.
I agree that that may have been an issue we experienced that teams like yourself or 1718 did not experience. We attempted to distribute weight as evenly as possible, and that could have contributed to us rocking, and/or lifting the ball up, more.
