2002 Robot Design - Chief Delphi

Why is it whenever you tell someone there is a million billion stars in the universe they believe you, but if you tell someone that the bench over yonder has wet paint, or if usfirst.org comes up as the 1st result in Google people have to try it for themselves? - artdutra04 [more]

SPAM added a deployable lexan wedge (legal that year) at the championship to counter the heavy lifting / file card grabbing robots. When you drive the wedge under another robot, all their weight and traction is transferred to you. Only used it once, against Wildstang in the Division Semi's I think, pushing them across the field.
