Re: Fans for defense

I hope that no-one took my comments as a slam against ANY team, certainly not 1319. You guys built an awesome bot, and we enjoyed watching and playing with/against you at Peachtree and Palmetto. You guys were deserving of the quality award at Peachtree, as well as the judges award at Palmetto. I only singled you out as an example of using the added thrust of propellers as defense (the whole point of this thread). I still believe that the play in question was not the fault of your driver, or your robot. The added 6-8 Lb.s of thrust from the propellers gave our bot the strength and speed necessary to push a robot sideways all the way down the field.
