Re: Drive train stattributes

Although it is game dependent, if I had to choose one of those qualities, it would be acceleration. If I had to rank them, it would be acceleration, then speed, then torque (although these are linked so it's hard to distinguish because one affects the other).

Why? Because with acceleration, you can sprint and outmaneuver opponents very easily, and then if you have speed they can't catch up. On the contrary, when you're playing defense, you can stick to the opponent and don't have to worry about getting juked because you can quickly accelerate back to them. The reason I de-emphasize pushing power so much is that in my experience, I have very rarely ever had to get in a shoving match forwards and backwards. The only pushing I've found to be effective (both doing it to other teams and having it done to my own) is friction pinning on the side of the robot, and it really doesn't take a whole lot of torque to do that.
