Does anyone have ideas on a plow to prevent thrown noodles from getting stuck in your drive train?
Mounting a door sweep on the front of your robot like http://www.homedepot.com/p/Frost-King-E-O-2-in-x-36-in-Heavy-Duty-Aluminum-and-Brush-Door-Sweep-SB36/202525375 should let you push around litter and still clear the scoring platforms
Edit: Mcmaster has brush strips in up to 10 inch heights but 3 inches should be plenty http://www.mcmaster.com/#74405t4/=vwsld9
Thank you very much BeardyMentor, my team will be ordering brush strips from McMaster-Carr. Hopefully it gets here in time!
