Re: Fuel Vs. Gears

Another thing to consider is the mechanical limitations of building a robot intended to collect gears, shoot fuel, pickup, and climb all at once. It would be very difficult to fit all of those systems on to a bot and still have room to fit a funneling system to process the balls. It will definitely be doable by the best funded and most veteran teams, but to the average team it would be a lot more efficient to focus on 2 goals such as gear handling and climbing rather than all 4 listed above.
