Expensive... I've heard $200-300 a piece is average.

Remember that if you use treads, an opponent can T-bone you and you won't be able to move or turn. And it technically isn't pinning because you aren't trapped against a game element.

Why wouldn't you be able to move?

They also have this playlist of all the terrain obstacles. Some are tested with wheels and treads others are just treads.

I will be interested to see this robot with legal bumpers.... and then see how it works on the different terrain challenges.

I am not saying that it won't work... I am just interested in seeing how that changes things ... if at all...

I'm interested to see how people will put legal bumpers on this system.
