I'm hearing lots of things fly around this thread.

Frictionless pad - just so you know, there are several wheels available for purchase that give MUCH more traction of the HDPE than the carpet of mesh, and that traction is very nice

Spinging a KOH bot - that'ld be hard, especialy when ur talking about veteran teams like the KATS

Two v One pushing matches - look at beaty from last year, i remember one time when they had Kingman(undoubtedly the 2nd strongest pusher at nationals) and another team pushing full force against them, and beaty kept on moving basicly unfaised

I've noticed people saying that you could life the KATS arms - that asumes several things, proper positioning of both robots to be one, I really doubt the KATS r just gona sit there and let u pick their arms up without a fight

Suction Cups slide - maybe you haven't been informed, but there are some suction cups out there that are completly immovable, as far as you know the KATS have one on each arm





Alot of times I see people who underestimate other teams and over estimate their own(I've seen this on my team ALOT) because they feel that they've spent so much time on their robot and it just isn't easy to think that you put so much time into something and someone else could be better. I think that this is what is happeneing to alot of people regarding the KATS. They are a veteran team with all sorts of tricks, so just sit back, relax, and keep an eye out on their regional showings.
