our team decided not to use tracks this year for one overriding reason. with tracks, you can't really straddle anything. When you reach the top of the ramp, the front half will stick out a couple inches in the air. If another robot is coming from the other side of the ramp and slams into you when your nose is in the air, you're gonna get tipped. hasn't this bothered anybody else?

no offense meant to team 45, those tracks look awesome - this is just an observation on tracks in general

this is the TechnoKats 4th season using treads. i remember them using treads in the 2001 competition where we had to balance on the bridge. they never got tipped. and im sure they know to put their CG down low so that they dont even risk tipping. and.... intentional tipping is illegal. wedge robots designed to do that specific thing are also not legal.
