Nice robot!
How does it pick up the frisbees?

at the moment its a roller that pushes it on to a sheet of metal that is lifted up and the disc falls to a hopper at the top. We may be altering that but that is what it looks like in the bag

Awesome to see more teams with autotracking (I'm a programmer so it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside) :)


Also, props for using The Glitch Mob
