 Coaxial swerve modules with a suspension and differential aren't normal. But on Winnovation they are. - Andrew Schreiber [more] |

45 Degree rule...
What do folks think of the new ruling regarding pushing on the lower edge of the upper deck of the goal with a wall that is 45 degrees or steeper (measured with the horizon)?
Seems to me a pretty significant ruling. Prior to this you had to actually design a mechanism to get some of the weight of the goal on your wheels. Now all you need is a ramped wall about 17 inches off the ground. It seems that FIRST is intent on making this a pusher's game. For my part, I think there was already too much of a tilt toward brute force and pushing in particular. This tilts the scales even farther. It is entirely possible that the winning solution is just a squarish pusher robot with 45 degree walls 17 inches off the ground. I hope not, but it may be so. As always, other thoughts are welcome...
