Go to Post Just take a chance. Dream and live. It's not a wild decision, but just ask yourself - if I got my team just a little bit more spending money, where would my team be then? Then, change that dream into a reality. Help your team sustain itself to inspire more kids. - CalTran [more]

meaubry,
No I'm not talking about a defensive mechanism... I don't think that would be legal... but our drivers will be preppared to respond to someone trying to grab us... yes, some of these strategies involve contact, (within the rules) and yes, some of these strategies might accidently damage the transgressor robot... we wouldn't purposely damage another robot, but if they are coming after us, i certainly wouldn't lose sleep over it if we broke something...

This entire rule about snagging/pulling frankly scares me...
When I'm coaching if I see another robot try to grab my baby that i just spent 6 weeks of my life on... i wont hesitate to tell my drivers to protect themselves... does anyone disagree with this philosophy?
