I remember a match against 254 in 2005 at the Sacramento regional where we were playing defense against them and damaged a few of their exposed wheels. Its definitely a design choice when using live axles like that. I would also recommend that you design for the use of bumpers with exposed wheels like that.
At every event I've seen this year, there has been at least one robot that left a part on the field. Even some of the robots have decided they don't want to play and this year and made a break for it in autonomous! :yikes: - ctt956 [more]
