Go to Post I got something totally different from my FIRST experience. to me the spirit of FIRST is all about sharing. during the 6 week build period, you share yourself with the other people on your team. at the competition, you share your creation with everyone who watches your 'bot play the game. - George1902 [more]

Re: robot design question

The design would appear to be legal as you have bumper to bumper contact not bumper to trailer toung contace.

Keep in mind that with this configuration when you turn you will be sliding the trailer wheels sideways. Depending on the weight of the trailer your turning ability could be severely constricted.

We are considering a similar design but not for the trailer but for loading balls into the other teams trailers. This assumes we are fast and agile enough and to catch the other team.
