Re: Week 2: Any new lessons learned?

One major issue:


Make sure the host bot doesn't stay in contact with the mini-bot once the mini-bot it past the deployment line.

For an example, if your mini-bot is 1" underneath the line and it's on a 3" tall piece, when you deploy the mini-bot will be above the line while still in contact with the piece.

I saw numerous teams not thinking about this small fact, but it could hurt you really badly if a referee catches it.
