Seriously, I think the tires were too sticky. When the bot met with something
"immovable" (like an anchor bot) then the bot would STOP. I really dont recall,
but I think, none of my loss's were do to actually being PULLED. (I expect to be
corrected)
MANY of my loss' were when I "called" it, cause my strategy of NOT grasping the
rope, led to the marker being pulled to the opponent, and my bot was not able to
recover and pull the other bot in.
At no point do I think the RCX failed in the driving of the RC motor. As a test,
every time I picked up the bot from the "stall" the motors would spin.

| (...) Then you should have geared them down more. If it was possible to stall the motors, and the tires weren't slipping then your speed would have been reduced more, increasing your torque until you got to a point just before they would slip. -Rob (...)
