Permission or forgiveness from whom? The CD Hoard?

After experiencing Merrimack Week Zero, the true 10th defense are the boulders. Some robots just can't drive over them. And they are everywhere. Every. Where!

Yes... I saw more than one bot having issues at the Oxford MI Week Zero event. We even pinched one in the drivetrain... and we required a boulder-ectimy.

Our team had a little trouble when our makeshift 'net' of one belt let the ball get past it and wedge itself in the frame of the robot, out of reach of the arm. We were still able to drive around, but it still was a little annoying and let us know that we were correct about needing to add more of a net to the arm.
