So how does your pickup arm work? Under the front roller and over the second? There seem to be a bunch of unused holes on the bottom edge of it, did you determine that a bottom piece was not needed or is that piece getting added on at competition?

Funnel removed, it's a trade secret I bet.

One thing I like about this pickup is that you don't have to drag a plate on the ground. I expected a lot more teams to use this sort of pickup, but so far I only know of two. ;)

I'll through my team into the list that used this style pickup although no where near as refined as 254 or 1986 its worked fairly well for us, we'll just have to see how it holds up this weekend

you can see it assorted pictures on our blog

Our intake is nothing like 1986's. It doesn't articulate up to pull in frisbees. There are two rollers as others have mentioned which intake it through the slot in the bumpers.

Yep. We're different. Can't wait to see this in action. We're probably stuck at 7 discs in the autonomous with our design. I wonder if this will be fast enough to get 9? Very Cool. :cool:

Nope. We didn't have time before ship and our practice bot has too many bare metal parts on it right now ;)

That's cool! This has given me a cool idea for something to try later this year when we actually have time to take some nice photos. Just wondering if that background is supposed to be a gradient or if the banding is intentional? Like it either way.
