Re: What did everyone learn from this weekend's scrimmages?

We discovered that our 8 wheel drive system gives us an advantage over 4 wheel drive robots in that in a pushing war, we generally bullied them around. Also, a robot pushing at our side had little luck moving us, whereas we could push the 4 wheelers around like a bulldozer. Our design is a collector/ejector with a large hopper on top. The initial thought was to feed the human players at the corners, but the short shooting/dumping robots can catch you there and fill your trailer if you're not watching closely. We were partnered with a shooter/dumper and found we could collect and fill them up in the center of the court while moving along "face to face". That worked pretty well...
