Does Beatty transfer the wieght of the goals into their robot?

Has any team that does transfer the weight ever tried to outpush them head-on?

Did any of the strong pushing teams ever try to push against one of Beatty's wings, and if so, did it break, did it cause the robot to turn, or did it have no effect?

I'm kinda surprised that arms made of PVC can withstand that much torque since the lever arm is so long.

I guess I really need to see some videos, if anyone can get some up asap that would answer so many questions.

[EDIT]Soap seems to have videos. I'll check those out.[/EDIT]

[EDIT]Oh, I just watched one of the matches, and I realize how mistaken I've been. I thought Beatty's armed stayed out, I had no idea they folded in once they latched. Now I see how PVC is strong enough...[/EDIT]
