Some teams aren't actually pushing at all, but sitting on some sort of anchor while the other bot pops its breakers trying to move the anchor.
Most 'anchors' are just pads of some high friction material on a piston that pops up and down. If you take the weight off the wheels, it becomes very difficult to move that bot. Some teams will also 'precool' their breakers just before the match with some cool in a can. I don't know how much extra current draw this gives you. Its an on going debate on if thats a good idea or not. -Andy A.
