Back on topic, I'm curious what your methodology is for picking tubes up off the ground. Do you stick your gripper and long wrist joint way out in front of your robot? Or will you be raising the arm and pivoting your wrist joint down?
Not hand held anything, we used the mill, we just can't aim.

We haven't worked out the details for picking them up yet... or we have and we're not telling anyone. You decide!

I'm a FIRST relic of sorts, I remember when we used PBASIC and we got CH Flightsticks in the KoP. In my day we didn't have motorized carts, we pushed our robots uphill, both ways! (Houston 2003!)
