Re: scoring in center goal from platform

The platform surface is made of daimondplate right? (I read the field elements materials list) In addition, you may want to consider the grip your treads provide on the platform. For defensive/offensive purposes, even a robot with enough torque may be beaten if its wheels are not well suited for a smooth surface. Eg. skyways haha. (for that matter skyways probably won't even provide enough grip to get up the platform).

And if you are scoring from the platform, at that angle it may be difficult to score if the firing device is low to the ground. My dad suggested using the angle of the ramp itself to allow you to aim balls at the goal.

I wonder. If you didn't want to be pushed around, maybe pneumatically deployed suction cups would do the trick. Sure, maybe you score 15 points for the opponent, but if your robot scores every ball and your bot is loaded with a ton of balls, you may walk away the winner.
