Stealing gears as a defensive strategy?

It seems that a large number of the prototypes for gears are passive. Wouldn't that make it fairly easy to design a robot that could steal the opponents gear in transit ?

Re: Stealing gears as a defensive strategy?

I thought about this and decided not easy to do well as you can't reach out your box, I think its more likely bumping and dumping Fuel in transit as Fuel bots will probably be 24" for max storage that could be easy to disrupt.. It may be possible though. Just don't see much reach opportunities to steal gears but I'm certain some team will try and may be successful.

You're going to have a hard time there.

I am significantly less excited about passive, outside of the frame perimeter gear scorer designs...
