This would be like 469's design last year of them making their robot to the field. Seriously though wouldn't that make more sense than having a hp who has to get really good at throwing the tubes over the wall?
I've been waiting to see a team build a robot to do this nearly all season. Sadly, I don't think anyone took the risk. Its too bad, if a team could get a roughly 90% accuracy and a super fast minibot, they would nearly be a lock for eliminations at any event.
