Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
Don't know about video, but I've watched it several times, and can confirm that it's very different and very cool.

For those who haven't seen team 40's robot, the basic design is essentially Pink 2k7 with swerve drive. This allows them to pick up from both sides of their robot. They score the first tube as normal, and then back up diagonally, while lowering their arm to pick up from behind. They then pick up the tube directly in line with their partner's stationary robot, tilt the arm back to forward, and score it. Its a very efficient system.
