Ah! You mean the robot can pull three "goals" and one trophy [the "real" goal]? Now that *IS* impressive... It's a good thing our drivetrain can pull 5! 8)

It may be able to pull all the goals, but what else can it do.....if you cant move fast enough to get to the goal they wont be able to pull the goal...3 goals is a nice idea...but it would be interesting to see....

id like to shake the hand of the captain of the team that can grab all 3 gols in a match at a competition

three goals? no i said 4! it defies physics!

anyway, i think our robot should be able to handle three if we tied ropes to it. we're still deciding how many we wanna pull.

-anton

ps. the drive train should be able to handle it. it's halfway finished.

The only reason I said three is because there won't be a 4th goal in the match to pull...id hope people would know that

Aren't y'all missing the obvious solution here!?!?

This robot is designed with the Championship in mind.

Quite simply, it can reach over to the neighboring field and grab a fourth goal!! Duh!

The key isn't being able to control three goals, but three playing fields. . .

Now, which team was this??

Talking pulling 4 goals

Opps!

CD7 is being designed for the 4 goals. Someone must have miss counted the goals..... I see ........my glasses ( tri focals ) have slipped. Well I guess we will just pull the other 4 robots around.

All is not wasted.

4 goals? That's incredible. If I see it, I'll believe it. It's incredibly unlikely as well as pointless. Why pull four goals? I could see three goals and a robot, but not 4 goals.
