front looks for pegs, back looks for tubes. With 2 cameras and a rangefinder it is definitely possible... But you would need a sub 3 second cap... which is insanely fast. (separate threads for each mechanism... good 2 speed trans... and a crazy good claw.)

I would focus on the straight line.... get that to 100%. If you get that to 100% on thursday then start thinking about the Y.
You could also just have a kicker instead of an arm xD

It's looking like I'll be able to get to the Y, since we have a practice bot that's doing pretty well.

At the competition, I'll have to calibrate the accelerometers and the PID loops, and then make sure the arm angles are the same.. Lots of work to do
