"How does it drive?!?!" Team 857's bot

Probably planning on milling the bumpers out of solid pool noodle stock, too. Ever wonder how they drill that hole down the middle of pool noodles? ;) - Bill_B [more]

Seems to me that it would behave in the same way as it would being pushed in any direction. The robot doesn't care which way it's facing - if it were to be pushed against, the driver (or software) could just compensate by increasing the force in that dimension - then it just becomes a question of traction.

That video is incredible, btw. And I still want to see the controls!
