another way to look at this - the 12V battery and 120A breaker they gave us this year means your bot can output about 1440Watts of power

thats about 2 horsepower being released by each bot on the field (if they design a bot that can use it all)

to put that into perspective, an 18 yr old male athlete can produce about 1/3 HP for a short duration of time. That means EACH robot is like 6 eighteen year old guys on the field (pushing things, moving containers, running around)

and there are 4 bots on the field - so thats like having 24 young men going wild for 2 minutes - thats how much power is available during a match.

so if someone could pin you repeatedly, and you could not push, shove, knock yourself free, or run away, you have no-one to blame but your own design team.
