Underestimating the Trailer

[Enigma's puzzle]

I have a feeling the everyone is going to underestimate the trailer. Everyone to a different degree but i believe that everyone will. This severely limits the ability to backup. And it makes an easy pinning target.

Dean and Woody never went backwards with their robots, most likely not to throw their hand to a major complication to our robots.

Avoiding a jack knife will be a major strategy, as will pinning a robot by the trailer as you are less likely to slip off and you can keep your goal close to the center of the crater.

My Thought: Teams that don't build trailers to practice with will be surprised at completion by these Tricky Trailers. And only the quickest adapting of these teams will be successful.

I'm thinking of taking the drives out to the farm and putting them in one of these freezing rain puddles with a tractor and trailer, and see who can handle it.
