Speed?

[Ken Leung]

I don't know so sure about strongest robot will win a match for sure anymore... I used to think that pushing is everything in this game, now, I am more convinced that a fast and maneuverable robot can dominate a goal just as well as a really slow robot.

And, obviously with two goals you will need a lot of pushing force against your enemy because they will be concentrating on you as soon as you grab two goals... But if you grab two goals fast enough, and have some sort of break or lock down on the field, you might get away with a fast drive train instead of a strong one...

So I don't know. A fast robot means it can control the flow of the game faster than their opponents. As for what they do after that, we will just have to see.

And I think a swerve drive would be GREAT for this game this year. You can run away really easily whether your opponent is a fast robot or a strong robot with tank drive.

Anyone with me on the speed side?
