Weren't there full sized pick-ups being towed last year??

Now, tow a F-450 in gear and I will be impressed.

At the California Robot Games last fall there was a truck pulling competition to see who could pull a truck a certain distance the fastest.

With more physical contacts this year and a lot more pushing, the robots this year are probably going to have to be stronger than last year's, so I wouldn't be too surprised to see robots that can tow trucks.

I believe you can buy it in the MSC book. Small parts never had it in stock last year.

Talking towing a car?

Towing a car is great. But pushing a car on a sheet of poly? Good luck!!!

Towing a truck is not impressive at all...granted, it does look like a hurculean feat to outsiders, but as soon as you overcome the initial friction and the wheels start rolling, my dog could pull a truck. Pull me a 747 and then ill be impressed
