Especially tracks.

That's where the fast eye comes in handy. And hand...

Basically, as long as you can see that it is coming, it should be to much of a problem.

Good point though

The bumper zone does not apply when on the bump.

Ah, but as long as a defender is causing a team to focus on anything other than scoring, their job is successful.

Besides, all it takes is one solid push to tip a robot on the ramp over.

Jason-

Do you guys happen to have any footage of the bot driving around in the open? I always love seeing Mecanums systems drive, as they're always so fluid looking when they translate around.
