Go to Post To anyone who is discouraged about their team, don't let yourself get down. I've seen my team go from having a robot that barely moved (and I'm not kidding, we had keys falling out of gearboxes) to this year with a robot that is ACTUALLY GOING TO WORK. Don't lose hope, stick with FIRST! - ZipTie3182 [more]

Nobody's tested it yet, that I know about.

One caveat, and this may be the deal breaker: If it damages the carpet extensively, or is made of metal, it will not pass inspection. (<R08> governs traction items.)

It may be possible, but you'd have to test it.
