Re: Robots that float

2 problems I see with this are that

1 there is alot of contact on a first field, the odds of the skirt getting torn of folded up so it forms a poor seal with the floor are pretty high.

Also a hover bot would just be pushed around the field, it would be like an air hockey puck.

For any one who was looking at this strategy to score points at the end of the match, keep in mind that power is shut off and the robot wont be able to keep hovering.
