Beatty tracks

[Joe Johnson]

The list of teams that "could have" or "should have" beat Beatty is a long list indeed. The fact of the matter is that Beatty/Hammond keeps on winning and we all keep on thinking that we might have beaten them... ...if...

Now on to the various issues. Concerning Beatty getting DQ'd for carpet damage, in order for them to damage the carpet you have to MOVE them.

How is this going to be accomplished without you yourself damaging the carpet? I suppose that the team trying to move Beatty will be the one more likely to damage the carpet.

As to the accertion that Beatty cannot move backwards, is this true? How certain are you of this claim?

Finally, has anyone (or team of robots) tried to push Beatty into their home zone? Was it successful? If they can't back up, it seems to me that you could push them into your home zone with the two goals and more or less defeat them -- the hunter becomes the hunted, eh?

Has anyone tried this?

One last thing. Can Beaty let go of goals it has docked with?

All very important data that teams that want to avoid being road kill along 80/90 as it passes through Hammond need to know...
