Re: Overclocked's Rover Reveal

We had some experience playing against a round swerve last year that 2767 stryke force had, and there were pros and cons to it IMO.

It was very hard to t bone and push the drive around, the circular base did a good job of rolling off the t bones. However, it was fairly easy to stay in front of them to block their path since the robot was so big. The diameter was optimized to meet the frame perimeter, so it had a fairly large footprint on the field.

A final observation is it was hard for them to line up balls to push in the low goal. The large diameter didn't fit well in the corner and sometimes it took awhile to maneuver where they needed to be in the corner of the field.
