Re: Defense: Pushing and Blocking

We chose to sacrifice a ball shooter for a good, strong drive train.

On the pushing more than one bot at once, I reckon that if they (being the said bots to be pushed) had omni wheel drives, then we could push all of them without any problem. The bots with drive trains similar to ours are going to be a little more difficult.

On the blocking, our bot isn't going to be tall enough to stop a shot from a robot with a five-foot tall shooter, but they might have problems getting off an accurate shot while they are being shoved around the field.

That said, I think that we are going to live up to our traditional reputation of being "defensive specialists" Anyone remember last year's model with the wheelie bars that <accidently, sort of> served as wedges? (we didn't design them for that, I promise.)
