Re: Never Do This, and Other Good Ideas Gone Bad
In 2005 we used casters on the front of our robot. When we would go to the loading stations if they got on the raised part of the loading station we would get stuck.
I have seen many instances of caster problems on robot so "no casters is a fixed rule for us.
#1 No casters
#2 No scissor lifts.
#3 No elevators (I have seen many instances of very effective elevators but not from us)
#4 If balls are the game piece they must always be under the influence of at least one moving part.
