The moat was deceptively challenging for us. Our new prototype robot will have the wheels closer. Hopefully, our new spacing will be perfect and we can use that spacing for building the next two robots (practice and competition).
Here's our video of this. |
I believe one key to some of the defenses this year is to drive you bot like you stole it.
For instance, hit the mote with a bit more authority and you may just own it.

It doesn't matter if students get inspiration from planning to creating to manufacturing to purchasing to watching to engineers creating the parts etc etc etc. As long as students are getting Inspired, FIRST is doing it's mission. - David Kelly [more]
