A word of caution: If you have been to or seen matches from competitions so far, you will note that many minibots end up on the ground during teleop when they are knocked off of their hostbot. If your minibot is free to climb out of its hanger, it is also free to be knocked out of its hanger. Make sure it is captured by some means so it cannot be knocked loose before you deploy.
yep, that is on my mind as well. We want something simple to keep that from happening. Maybe some sort of hard stop to keep in from falling off? That's a problem for Monday.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
