Re: Is there a place this year for robots that cant hurdle?
I believe a defensive herder (not a racer) could make a big difference in the game. Continuous contact between a Robot and Trackball are permissble herding. You are also allowed to herd your opposition's trackballs. Robots may also push or react against any element of the arena. No where in the rules does it say you have to be moving to herd. So if a herding Robot hanging out just past the oppositions finish line can pin the opposition's Trackball against the wall following their opponents hurdle, the best hurdler now has no Trackball to to hurdle with. Defensive Trackball management. You gotta love it.
